Purpose – In this study, it is aimed to examine the relationships between the concepts of distributive justice from organizational justice sub-dimensions, depersonalization from burnout sub-dimensions and the intention to leave the job, and to reveal the mediating effect of depersonalization in the relationship between distribution justice and intention to quit. Design/methodology/approach – For the purpose of the study, a research was conducted on engineers working in a company operating in the telecommunications sector in Izmir between 8-26 May 2019. Feedback was provided from 102 out of a total of 133 engineers working in the company in question. The data collected by the survey technique were analyzed with SPSS 25 and AMOS 24 statistical programs. The hypotheses related to the research were tested and the results obtained were interpreted. The structural validity of the scales used in the study was analyzed with confirmatory factor analyzes and the hypotheses were tested with path analysis. Findings – As a result of the analysis, a moderate negative relationship between distributive justice and turnover intention (r = -0.475), a moderate positive relationship between depersonalization and turnover intention (r = 0.363), and a moderate negative relationship between distributive justice and depersonalization (r = -0.374) was determined. According to these results, if the perception of distributive justice increases, turnover intention and depersonalization will decrease; it can be said that if the depersonalization increases, turnover intention will also increase. It was determined that depersonalization has a partial mediating effect in the relationship between distributive justice and turnover intention.
