ABSTRACT

The role of implemented reward systems in organizations on the motivation of the employees through the organizational aims constitutes one of the important debates of the related literature. For creating the motivation effect of the reward systems, the “fair” perception of the system by the employees is regarded as an important determining factor. Starting from this point, in this study it is intended to analyze the relationships between the structural characters and the processes of the reward systems and the organizational justice perception of the employees. As a result of the research, on a total of 569 employees of two companies which are located in the west of Turkey and are leaders in their sectors, it is found that the organizational justice perception of the employees was affected by the structure and processes of the reward systems and beside this, the structure and processes of the reward systems formed the distributive justice perception of the employees relatively more than it did the other types of justice perceptions. Furthermore, this research displayed that the organizational justice perception of the employees is affected by the processes of reward systems rather than the structural elements of it.
