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.

Conclusion- Positive or negative perception of organizational
justice does not cause an increase or decrease in important cyber-loafing
behaviors.
