In this study, the organizational commitment questionnaire developed by Allen and Meyer (1991) and run through for validity and reliability in a study by Wasti (2001) was used for data collection. Along with this, an organizational justice questionnaire which was developed by Niehoff ve Moorman (1993) and run through for validity and reliability in a study by Gürbüz and Mert (2009) was also used. In order to analyze the data, both One- Way ANOVA and the Independent t-test were used for determining significant difference between dependent and indepentent variables. Pearson correlation analyze was also used to determine the relationship among dependent variables. The results show that there were significant differences between organizational commitment and perceived organizational justice in terms of age and position rather than gender, marital status and tenure.
