Purpose - The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect and relationship between values-based leadership and the leader's sense of justice among the employees of a public organization.

Method - The data obtained from the quantitative research were collected from 251 individuals with associate's degrees and above education level serving in a public organization. The analysis was done using the values-based leadership scale for the model and hypothesis.

Results - When generalizing the results of the research, the discussion can emerge thanks to the data collection tool and the data collected from public employees. In addition, the sub-dimensions of value-based leadership and its impact on the leader's justice predict that they have different attitudes. While generalizing the results of the research, the data collection tool and the data collected from public employees can be used for discussion. Hence, future research can expand the sources and settings of data collection by using more data collection methods. The findings of the study can help leaders and decision-makers in the management of both public organizations and corporate companies to strategically adjust their leadership approach accordingly and promote it appropriately in the workplace.

Discussion - The findings were analyzed together with the theoretical framework and recommendations were presented for future researchers and managers of public institutions and corporate companies. Values-based leadership, one of the new management techniques, is the one that imposes values on employees and leads their education, work, and development. In addition, the perception of leadership with values provides administrative convenience to employees in a welfare and reliable environment with the justice of the leader.
