Abstract
Purpose: The present research work was done to study the employees’ perception of Violation of Norms of Justice in Public and Private Organizations and also its relation to the outcome variables like Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) and Intention to Leave.
Design/Methodology/Approach: The study was done on 250 employees of Public and Private Organizations (125 from each). By an interview done on some of the employees from both the sectors i.e. Public and Private, a scale for measuring perceived violation of norms of justice was developed. For measuring other variables, standard scales were used. Data were collected through questionnaire method. For analysis, correlational method and t-test were used.
Findings: Results showed that Public and Private sector employees differed significantly in their perception of violation of norms of justice. Results also showed that the employees’ perception of violation of norms of justice is negatively related with the outcome variables like Organizational Citizenship Behaviour (OCB) and Intention to Leave
Practical Implications: The study has implications for scholars of organizational behavior, to look into the organizational problems from the perspective of employees i.e. what do the employees think of existing social norms.
Social Implications: This study shows that employees/humans are vital factors in the running/success of any organizations/society.
Originality: The research is original in the sense that it tries to compare employees’ perception of Justice Norms in both Public and Private Organizations.
