This study aims to investigate the effect of distributional justice on intention to leave the job and to determine the mediating role of organizational cynicism in this relationship. To this end, the perceptions of distributive justice, organizational cynicism, and intention to leave the job were measured among administrative and healthcare employees of private hospitals. The analysis results indicated that distributive justice had a negative and significant effect on intention to leave, distributive justice had a negative and significant effect on organizational cynicism, and organizational cynicism had a positive and significant effect on intention to leave. When adding the mediating role of organizational cynicism to the model when measuring the effect of distributive justice on intention to leave, this effect was reduced according to the simple linear regression results.

The research findings demonstrate a significant negative correlation between distributive justice and both intention to leave and organizational cynicism.Furthermore, organizational cynicism positively influences intention to leave.The study confirms that organizational cynicism partially mediates the relationship between distributive justice and intention to leave the job.These results underscore the importance of fostering fairness within organizations to mitigate cynicism and enhance employee retention.

Future research should explore the impact of different leadership styles on mitigating organizational cynicism and promoting distributive justice perceptions among employees. Investigating the role of organizational culture in shaping employees perceptions of fairness and trust is also crucial. Furthermore, longitudinal studies are needed to examine the dynamic relationship between distributive justice, organizational cynicism, and employee turnover over extended periods, considering potential mediating and moderating factors such as employee demographics and job characteristics. These studies could also explore the effectiveness of interventions designed to enhance distributive justice perceptions and reduce cynicism, such as fairness training programs or improved communication strategies. Finally, research should investigate the influence of external factors, such as industry competition and economic conditions, on the relationship between distributive justice, cynicism, and turnover intention, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the complex dynamics at play.
