Abstract

This study examined the organizational justice perceptions of healthcare professionals and the relationship between this perception and demographic variables such as gender, age, marital status, educational status, profession and length of service. The research was conducted with the participation of 372 public personnel working in Başakşehir Çam and Sakura City Hospital between 01.02.2024 and 01.08.2024. The data were collected through online forms and obtained using the "Personal Information Form" and "Organizational Justice Scale". R 4.4.2 and SPSS 25.0 programs were used in the analyses. 68.82% of the participants were female, 69.89% were between the ages of 21-30, and the majority were bachelor's graduates (62.63%). Nurses (40.32%) constitute the largest occupational group. It was found that procedural, distribution and general organizational justice scores were low. It was determined that interactional justice scores were significantly higher in the 31-40 age group, married individuals, doctoral graduates and physicians (p < 0.001). The research results reveal that the perception of organizational justice varies according to demographic factors and that individualized, justice-oriented management approaches should be developed in the health sector.
