Summary/Abstract: Purpose – Loneliness is a feeling not only in social life but also in the organization. One of the factors that trigger this emotion is trust. The psychological contract that evaluates the perception of justice and the relationship between the organization and the employee is important in establishing trust. These concepts are basically based on the reciprocity norm. The aim of the present study is to explain the relationship between concepts on the basis of the norm of reciprocity. Design/methodology/approach – In order to measure the norm in the research, Wu et al. (2006) 's scale was used. The organizational justice scale consists of three dimensions (distribution, transaction and interaction justice) and 20 items developed by Niehoff and Moorman (1993). Nineitem scale developed by Robinson and Morrison (2000) was used for the violation and breach of the psychological contract. The concept of organizational trust was measured by Cook and Wall (1980) scale consisting of 12 items. The scale includes two dimensions: faith in intentions and confidence in actions. Finally, loneliness in the workplace is measured by Wright et al. (2006)’s scale which is translated into Turkish by Doğan et al. (2009).
