Öğretmenlerin Algıladıkları Örgütsel Adaletin Örgütsel Vatandaşlık Davranışlarına Etkisi

Abstract

The aim of this research was to describe teachers' organizational citizenship behaviors and organizational justice perceptions, and to compare the groups according to gender, marital status and work experience variables. Besides, it was aimed to define the effect of organizational justice on organizational citizenship behaviors. Conducted by descriptive relational model, the study had a sample of 300 teachers working in Kayseri in 2016-2017 academic year. The research data was collected with Teachers' Organizational Justice Perceptions Scale and Organizational Citizenship Behaviors Scale. After the descriptive analyses, t-test, one-way Anova, simple and multi linear regression analyses were applied. The results showed that teachers' perceptions of organizational justice and of organizational justice dimensions were moderate and they exhibited organizational citizenship behaviors at a high level. It was observed that in organizational justice scores the gender and marital status of the participants were the sources of significant differences between the groups, whereas in organizational citizenship scores only marital status variable was the source of significant differences. The work experience of the teachers was not a source of significant differences between the groups. Simple linear regression analysis showed that teachers' organizational justice perceptions predicted 12% of organizational citizenship behaviors. In multiple linear regression analysis, stepwise model showed that organizational citizenship behaviors were predicted only by the interactional justice dimension, not by distributive or procedure justice. For the researchers it is advised to do more quantitative studies with larger samples and in different sectors to test whether the effect of interactional justice is consistent or not. Developing policies that will enhance the perceptions of justice among teachers is advised to the practitioners.
