Abstract:

The main purpose of the study is to see the effects of leadership styles on the dimensions of organizational justice perception. A survey, which includes visionary, coaching, affiliative participative and authoritarian leadership styles and distributive, procedural and interactional justice dimensions, was applied to the employees of Pristina International Airport, in accordance with this purpose. While the population of the survey was 650 people, 93 were returned. The obtained data were analyzed by the structural equation model. Leadership style and dimensions of organizational justice perceptions are explained through Path Analysis with Latent Variables. Because of the small number of samples, the analysis was performed by the Partial Least Squares Regression (PLSR) method, which can operate on small sample data, via SmartPLS packet program.   In the model formed by the path analysis, regression coefficients show that the participative leadership has a positive and significant effect on the perception of distributive justice perception (,290); the coaching leadership has positive and significant effects on both the perception of procedural justice (,334) and the perception of interactional justice (,296); the affiliative leadership has positive and significant effects on the perception of distributive justice (,578), on the perception of procedural justice (,351) and the perception of interactional justice (,471). The effects of authoritarian and visionary leadership styles on the dimensions of organizational justice perception are excluded, because p-value is less than the significance level defined for the study (p<0.05). In the model, there is no regression in some dimensions.
