The Relationship Between Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) Quality and the Perceptions of Justice and Job Satisfaction (A Study at the Religious Courts in the Ex-Banyumas Residency)

Abstract

This research examines how the quality of Leader-Member Exchange (LMX) influences employees' perceptions of justice and Job Satisfaction in Religious Courts within the Ex-Banyumas Residency. Frequent leadership transfers and rotations, typically occurring every two years, pose significant adaptation challenges for both employees and newly appointed leaders. These disruptions can destabilize organizations and hinder the attainment of performance goals. The quality of LMX is crucial for establishing positive working relationships between leaders and employees, which, in turn, enhances perceptions of justice and increases Job Satisfaction, particularly in environments with frequent leadership changes. This study employs a survey distributed to 100 employees across the Religious Courts in this area. Detailed findings and their implications are further elaborated in this paper.
