(The Moderating Role of Cultural Values on the Relationship between Perceived Distributive-Procedural Justice and Turnover Intention)

Abstract

Purpose – The main purpose of this study is to examine the moderating role of allocentrism and idiocentrism on the relationship between perceived distributive/procedural justice and turnover intention. Design/methodology/approach – Data were collected from 205 academics working in the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Departments in public universities in Ankara. AMOS, SPSS 23 and SPSS Process Macro were conducted to test hypotheses of the study. Findings – The results of moderating analysis demonstrate that both allocentrism and idiocentrism subdimensions act as moderators on perceived procedural justice and turnover intention relationship. Accordingly, higher levels of allocentrism and idiocentrism decrease the strength of negative relationship between perceived procedural justice and turnover intention. On the other hands, neither allocentrism nor idiocentrism do not have any moderating effect on perceived distributive justice and turnover intention relationship. Discussion – This results reveal that allocentrism/idiocentrism levels affect people’s attitude toward work.
