    This study focuses on the examination of the impact of Justice Perception and Employee Empowerment on the Organizational Reputation in the projectized organizations (NGOs) in Pakistan. The role of Employee Perception on the relationships between Justice Perception and Organizational Reputation and Employee Empowerment and Organizational Reputation has also been studied. Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) working in Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) and Frontier Regions (FR) of Pakistan were targeted, including the executives and managers of thirty Nongovernmental Organizations. The result revealed that justice perception has a positive and significant relationship with organizational reputation, and also employee empowerment has a positive and significant relationship with organizational reputation. It has also been confirmed that employee perception positively moderates the relationships between justice perception and organizational reputation and employee empowerment and organizational reputation.
