Purpose: This study sought to verify the perception of employees of an organization in the electric power sector regarding organizational justice regarding remuneration asymmetry. Three dimensions of organizational justice were considered for analysis purposes: distributive, procedural and interactional justice. Methodology: Descriptive research, applied through a questionnaire made possible by the Google Forms platform, whose final sample totaled 219 respondents. For data analysis, Mann-Whitney U statistical tests and Homogeneity Analysis (HOMALS) were used. Findings: The main results indicate that the asymmetry of remuneration can negatively impact the perception of distributive justice in the organization. They still show little relationship with procedural justice and divergences in relation to interactional justice. Contributions of the Study: Thus, it contributes theoretically and empirically by verifying that the asymmetry of remuneration can increase the feeling of injustice, provoke negative behaviors, and affect the performance at work of individuals. This study contributes to the advancement of research involving organizational justice and remuneration in the electricity sector.
