heal.abstract
This study examines the degree of association between organizational fairness
and job satisfaction in Greece. To this end, it is hypothesized that the higher the
level of distributive, procedural and interactional justice, the higher the level of
job satisfaction. As it is common knowledge that the financial crisis has brought
many changes, including reduction of salaries and bonuses, this study explores
the effect of the recession on allocation of rewards. Therefore, it was
hypothesized that the Greek financial crisis has strongly influenced distributive
justice. Empirical evidence was obtained from 256 employees working for the
public and the private sector, using a structured questionnaire. Regression
analysis revealed that each aspect of organizational justice is strongly related to
job satisfaction, and interactional justice seems to be the most important
predictor between them. On the contrary, results have proven that the crisis has
not changed distributive justice. The findings of this study provide important
guidelines to employers on how to enhance the job satisfaction of their employees
as it reveals their values and priorities.
