The following study examines the relationship between soldiers’ awareness of
organizational justice in the military and the adaptation to military life; the subjects of
this study were army soldiers. The objective of this study is to investigate whether the
awareness regarding organizational justice of the constituent members of a military
organization ? in which military service is compulsory ? has similar effects on the
overall life within the respective organization as seen in other private, public, and
military officers’ organizations where the members are professional soldiers. In order to
support this study, a total of 189 soldiers of the army forces in Gyeonggi-do were
surveyed in regards to their awareness of distributive justice, procedural impartiality,
interactional service justice, and the adaptation to military life within the particular
military organization. Analyses results showed that the awareness of distributive justice,
procedural impartiality, and interactional service justice had positive effects on the
general adaptation to military life. Such results strongly imply that for the adaptation of
soldiers to an unfamiliar environment like the army, not only is a psychological approach
in terms of each individual soldier required, but also an organizational approach is direly
needed. Based on the result soft his study, a list of constraints related to the study and
a proposal for a follow-up study were completed.
