Level of Compliance with the Ten Principles of Organizational Justice in Bendita National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Organizational Justice has been described as the perception of employees whether they are being treated fairly or not by the company they are working in. Thus, Organizational Justice has been researched all over the world because of its potential to create powerful benefits for the organization and most especially to the performance of the employees.

METHODS

The study was conducted in Bendita National High School wherein 35 respondents participated in this study. The method used was Descriptive Method Design. The questionnaire used was a validated instrument by Dr. Rosalie Corpus. Weighted Mean was computed to analyze data gathered, and the 4 Point Modified Rating Scale was used in interpreting these computed data.

RESULTS

In the Equity Principle, a 3.18mean means that what the respondents received from the organization are not proportional to their contributions. In the Perception Principle, 3.38 mean means that not all felt a sense of fairness. In the Voice Principle, 3.44 mean, this shows that the respondents felt being part of the decision making. In the Interpersonal Justice, 3.39 mean means that the respondents felt a sensitive, dignified, and respectful treatment. In the Consistency Principle, 3.4 mean means that leadership behavior contributes to the teacher's perception of fairness. In the Egalitarian Principle, 3.51 mean means that the administrator's decision making is free of self-interest. In the Correction Principle, 3.33 mean means that the administrators make sure to correct faulty decisions. In the Accuracy Principle, 3.35 mean means that the decisions were based on accurate information. In the Representative Principle, 3.39 mean means that the decisions done in the school represented the majority. In the Ethical Principle, 3.54 mean means that administrators follow prevailing moral and ethical standards.

DISCUSSIONS

The findings show that the lowest organizational justice principle in the school is the Equity Principle. What the employees receive were not proportional to their contributions. On the other hand, the highest organizational justice principle evident is Ethical Principle. Thus, the administrators were able to show honesty, integrity, authenticity, sincerity, equality, trustworthiness and honor in decision making. These adhere to ethical standards in creating a healthier school climate. According to Kim (2006), teachers who perceived that they were treated fairly by their school head tend to develop and maintain a communal relationship with the school.
