The data was collected by using convenient sampling technique. The major constructs of the study were assessed with Organizational Justice Scale (Lim, 2002), Organizational Cynicism Scale (Dean, Dharwadkar & Brandes, 1998) and Job Stress Scale (Parker & De Cotiis, 1983). Results of the main study showed that the categories of organizational justice named as distributive justice, interactional justice and procedural justice were negatively associated with organizational cynicism and job stress among college and university teachers. In addition to it organizational cynicism and job stress were positively related to each other. The results of the demographic variable of educational comparison showed that university teachers were facing more interactional justice as compared to college teachers. However, non-significant group differences were found in relation to gender, age, education, marital status and job experience.
