Abstract

Purpose- The aim of this study is to determine the effects of organizational justice perception on cyber-loafing behaviors.

Method - Data were collected  (233) from health care workers who agreed to participate in the study using the questionnaire method.

These 233 health workers are working in Departments of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Cumhuriyet University Health Services Research and Implementation Hospital, Sivas Numune Hospital) and Family Health Centers in the city center of Sivas. The data were analyzed by SPSS 22.0 program with percentile distribution, Pearson correlation and multiple regression analysis.

Findings- In the study was determined the negative effect of the operational justice dimension on insignificant cyber-loafing. Moreover, it has been determined that the dimension of interactionel justice has a positive effect on insignificant cyber-loafing behavior.
