As the world becomes more and more globalized, rapid changes in technology and evolving structure of today’s workforce have forced organizations to create more practical solutions to the issue of low productivity (Wright and Lund, 2001). When focusing on the overall performance picture of any organization, it is seen that work motivation and organizational justice practices arise as one of the most serious issues in the current business environment. That’s why today’s competitive organizations have urged their managerial-level experts to find out more effective motivation tools and organizational justice practices to increase their productivity level and meet the evolving needs of their workforce (Allen and White, 2002).
Finding factors that affect organizational justice is generally considered as a essential stage to reaching success in organizations and mainly in universities. This study purposes to find and compare factors affecting the organizational justice level of faculty members who are hired by Aksaray University (a new university in Turkey) and Çukurova University (an older University in Turkey). This is the first study comparing two Turkish universities in terms of their faculty members’ organizational justice levels. A survey was performed on 179 people from Aksaray University and 189 people from Çukurova. University in the month's March and April 2013. In both universities, varied organizational justice forms diversing according to age, sex, position, marital status, work length and hometown have been disclosed. Further studies can handle commitment profiles or with the relationship between the attitudes and behaviors of the teaching staff.
