Abstract

Organizational citizenship behavior can be defined as voluntary and spontaneous behaviors that extend beyond employees' normal job duties. Employee's perception of justice in compensation programs, organizational procedures and interpersonal behaviors can have a key role in developing and encouraging OCB. In order to study the relationship between organizational justice perception and OCB, factor analysis technique has been used to test the validity of related questions and by using path analysis (structural equation modeling) this relationship has been examined as well. The research findings indicate that there is a meaningful relationship between organizational justice perception and OCB, and among three dimensions of justice, interactional justice has the highest correlation with OCB in compare with distributive and procedural justice. The results also show that there is relationship among three dimensions of justice

Keywords
