Surveys released in 2007 reported that only 57% of Homeland Security employees were satisfied with their jobs and only 67.5% of employees across the Federal Government rated their jobs as satisfactory (Losey, 2007). This quantitative correlational study addressed the problem that leader's use of hiring and promoting practices may influence employee perceptions of fairness and morale. The study, conducted with civilian employees at an Army organization in Florida, examined the relationships between transparency, employee perceptions of fairness, and employee morale. The results of the current research study revealed a strong correlation between hiring and promoting practices and employee perceptions of fairness/employee morale. The findings indicated that increased transparency in hiring and promoting processes can enhance employee perceptions of fairness and morale.
