Abstract
In this study, administrators' perceptions related to organizational justice in Central Organization of The Ministry of National Education were examined. The research was designed as a qualitative study and has been performed through interviews. The data were gathered from totally 15 administrators by semi structured interview method. Five questions were asked to administrators related to organizational justice dimensions. Descriptive analysis technique was used to analyze the data. According to findings, public administrators perceive the concept of organizational justice as “the justice in distribution of positions, status, awards and resources”. Besides, it is understood that justice of distribution in public institutions is not respected enough; respect and courtesy in communication among staff is much more taken into care at higher levels than at lower levels; staff are participating in decision making process but not effective in the final decision; and intraorganizational corrective justice mechanisms do not operate functionally.
