The concepts of “organizational justice” and “job satisfaction” have very important places for organizations in reaching to their objectives. Job satisfaction levels of employees are affected either positively or negatively due to their perceptions on organizational justice regarding practices in their organizations and how fairly they are treated. Employees whose job satisfaction levels are affected positively are motivated by their work and add value to their organization. The concepts of organizational justice and job satisfaction become even more important when strategic importance of human resources is taken into account in a competitive business environment. This study consists of two parts. In the theoretical part of the study, organizational justice and job satisfaction concepts are explained in detail together with their dimensions.
