All the scales were in the 5-point Likert-Scale format. In addition to the reliability test to analyze the data, frequency and percentage analysis from the descriptive statistical techniques and simple and multiple linear regression analysis were used for the relational analysis. Results revealed that OJ, TS and TO perceptions were siginificantly and moderatally related to the dimensions of the OCB (p<0.001) and the dimensions of the OCB were fully predicted by OJ and TO perceptions, and partially predicted by TS perception(p<0.001). However, TS did not predict the sportsmanship dimension of the OCB (p>0.05). The results of the study revealed that employees' perceptions of OJ, TS and TO are the predictor variables in OCB. For his reason; in order to increase employees' perception of justice and trust in organization, it is recommended that organization and supervisors of the organization should behave employees fairly and equally at every stage of the administrative process when applying the laws and regulations.
