Over the past several decades, researchers across public and private organizations accumulated evidence that perceptions of organizational justice influence work attitudes and performance. Building on previous research, the present study examines the determinants of perceived organizational justice, including the effect of years of public service. By focusing on years of public service, the study explores how perceived organizational justice changes depending on time spent working in public organizations. Based on the regression analysis of the survey data of 522 state government employees, the study concludes that state government employees who report more years of public service are less likely to perceive their workplace as fair. The findings of the study are discussed in terms of their practical implications for improving a quality of workplace experiences among government employees, as one of the essential factors for maintaining high-performing public organizations.
