Abstract
Background and Aim: Organizational justice is one of the most important ethical issues and ethical leadership in organizations. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between organizational justice on job significance and organizational identity through the mediator variable of social responsibility among hospital treatment staff.
Materials and Methods: The method of this research is descriptive-correlational and the statistical population consists of 350 employees of Imam Reza (AS) hospital in Urmia. 186 employees have been selected by stratified sampling method. The standard organizational justice questionnaires of Li and Cropanzan, Michel and Stegmaier and Sonntag job significance questionnaires, Tuker corporate social responsibility and Meal and Ashforth organizational identity questionnaires were used to collect data. Data analysis was performed by Pearson correlation and path analysis using SPSS and Lisrel software.
Ethical Considerations: Participants' verbal consent was obtained and they were assured about confidentiality of information.
Findings: Findings showed a correlation between variables and explained that there is a positive relationship between organizational justice and social responsibility (β=0.57), organizational justice and organizational identity (β=0.28) as well as organizational justice and job significance (β=0.21). The studies confirmed the mediator role of social responsibility in the relationship between organizational justice and organizational identity and job significance and also a direct relationship between organizational justice and job significance and organizational identity.
Conclusion: The results showed that attention to organizational justice and social responsibility promotes organizational identity and job significance among the treatment staff.
