The data were analyzed with second order confirmatory factor analysis. The result revealed that perceived organizational justice of university lecturers in Songkhla Province consisted of 3 main components: (1) distributive justice, consisted of 5 sub-components (2) procedural justice, consisted of 7 sub-components, and (3) interactional justice, consisted of 6 sub-components, and these main components were consistent with the empirical data: X2 (df = 123) = 372.20 sig = 0.00, X2/df = 3.03, CFI = 0.98, NNFI = 0.97, RMSEA = 0.07, SRMR = 0.05. The weight of 3 main components and 18 sub-components were between .84 to .99 and .61 to .83, respectively.
