Özet

This study aimed to examine (a) the mediating role of leader-member exchange (LMX) in distributive justice-job satisfaction relationship and (b) the moderating role of perceptions of organizational politics in this mediation model. Sample of the study consisted of 1401 employees working in private business enterprises in Turkey. Results showed that (a) leader member exchange partially mediated distributive justice-job satisfaction relationship, and (b) perceptions of organizational politics moderated the mediation model. Specifically, leader member exchange mediated distributive justice-job satisfaction relationship when perceptions of organizational politics is low but not when it is high. In summary, the findings demonstrated that leader member exchange and perceptions of organizational politics represent key mechanisms in determining how distributive justice is associated with job satisfaction.
