The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between employee‘s self-evaluation, social identification with group, and perceived justice at work.

The sample consisted of 330 employees from different organizations in Kaunas, Lithuania. 69.4% (229) of participants were women and 30.6% (101) were men. The mean age was 37 years (SD=11.93).

The data were obtained from anonymous self-report questionnaires, consisted of Perceived Organizational Justice (Colquitt, 2001), Rosenberg Self-Esteem, The Multidimensional Body-Self Relations (Cash, 2000; Brown et al., 1990), and A Three-Factor Model of Social Identity (Cameron, 2004) scales.

The results of this study revealed that employees who evaluate themselves better or identify with their work group stronger, perceive their organization as more justice. Also, the better self-evaluation employees have the stronger they identify with group at work. When all three variables were integrated into one model, data analysis showed that the relation between self-evaluation and perceived justice at work was mediated by social identification with group. Furthermore, the results revealed that gender and position within the organization are important characteristics analyzing self-evaluation, social identification with group and perceived organizational justice.
