Abstract: Leaders and administrators of both public and private sector organizations are concerned with the issue of work place justice; however, little research has examined the influence of top managers on employees’ perceptions of fairness in the workplace. In this study, data were collected measuring behaviors of both supervisory and top management leadership, which were correlated with measures of workplace justice. Results found that, while supervisory behaviors were important predictors of workplace justice, top management vision was also found to be a significant predictor, explaining variance above and beyond that explained by the supervisory behaviors. Results are discussed as they apply to public sector organizations.
