Abstract :
Organizational citizenship behavior is a set of voluntary and optional behaviors that are not part of the individual’s official duties and put the staff in a situation that they act in an absolutely voluntary manner beyond the expectations of their duties and job definition. And organizational justice is the question of how to treat the staff so that they feel they have been treated fairly, which includes perception of the fairness of payments, equality in organizational procedures, and fairness of interpersonal behaviors in the organization. Organizational justice can have a very important role in the development and improvement of organizational citizenship behavior. The present paper examines the effect of organizational justice on the organizational citizenship behavior of the personnel of the Islamic Azad University of Tabriz. The research sample included 246 employees (staff and faculty members) who were chosen using stratified random sampling. The statistical methods of Pearson’s correlation coefficient test and multiple regression (simultaneous) test were used to analyze the data. The results show that organizational justice has a significant relationship with each of the different dimensions of the organizational citizenship behavior.
