Abstract
The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between ethical climate and the sub-dimensions of
perceived organizational justice (procedural justice, distributional justice, interactional justice) as well as

First, the concepts of ethics, work ethics, ethical climate, the results of the ethical climate, and the ethical climate model are presented. Later, perceived organizational justice is discussed, along with its results and effects. The research section is presented after providing the theoretical and empirical findings about ethical climate and its relationship with perceived organizational justice. A field study on the banking sector of the city of Tokat is conducted to determine whether ethical climate is a meaningful predictor of employees’ perception of justice. A questionnaire is administered to collect data from 210 bank employees working in 22 banks across the Tokat city center. Descriptive statistics and regression analysis are then used to analyze the data obtained. Results show that there exists a positive relationship between ethical climate and the three dimensions of the perceived organizational justice; furthermore, ethical climate is a positive predictor influencing employees’ perception of justice in all three dimensions. Finally, some suggestions are made about the applications of the study’s findings.
