Organizational justice in the maritime industry
Özet
Organizational justice is what the individuals who make up an organization expect to receive from the organization in return for the effort they put forth in order to reach the goals of the organization. Knowing the perceptions of employees about organizational justice in terms of job satisfaction and organizational commitment is important for organizational structures. Employees always compare themselves with others in the organizations they belong to. They expect the rules to be applied equally for each person in the organization, the wages to be paid equally for the same job descriptions, to have equal rights in leaves, and to benefit from social opportunities like everybody else. However, the basis of organizational justice perception is not only outputs and comparisons to these outputs, but also the interaction between the rules of the organization and the way these rules are applied and the people in the organization. The rules of the organization and the attitude in the implementation of these rules are important. One of the reasons for the angry behavior in the organization stems from the employees' perception of justice regarding the organization they are affiliated with. If employees realize that they are not treated fairly, they may display some negative and offensive behaviors in order to ensure justice. Such behaviors not only affect the workflow in the organizational structure, but also damage the relations between employees. Considering the labor-intensive structure of the maritime industry, the long working hours of the employees, the tiring and challenging conditions of working at sea, the fact that seafarers are often away from their families and cultures for a long time, and the emotional fatigue caused by all these conditions, it is very important to ensure organizational justice in maritime. Having a substantive organizational justice in the maritime sector is necessary to increase and maintain the qualifications and motivation of maritime workers. In this part of the book, firstly, the concepts of justice and organizational justice will be defined, the principles of organizational justice, its types and the details of the basic theories of organizational justice will be explained, the results of organizational justice will be specified and then the administration of organizational justice in maritime industry will be discussed.
