Abstract
Background and Aim: Organizational effectiveness depends on variables such as organizational development and justice. Paying attention to the concept of work conscience in health organizations, like other organizations, is in fact an ethical and humane view of the concept of work, which itself is affected by various factors. The present study was conducted with the aim of investigating how organizational development and justice relate to the work conscience of health centers’ staff.
Methods: This research is a descriptive correlational study conducted on 197 health network staff members in Shahrekord, were selected and studied through convenience sampling method. Data collection was done using three standard questionnaires: The Organizational maturity (Spiders, 2007), the organizational justice scale (Niehoff and Moorman, 1993) and the work Conscientiousness scale (Costa & McCrae, 1992). Data analysis was done using descriptive and analytical statistics (Pearson Correlation Coefficient and regression testing) and SPSS 16.
Ethical Considerations: This study has been approved by the Ethics Committee. Ethical considerations such as filling out the informed consent form, voluntary participation, explaining the research objectives and ensuring data confidentiality were observed.
Results: The findings indicate that the mean score of organizational development and justice is significantly related to work conscience (P<0.001). There is a significant positive relationship between the mean score of organizational development and the staff’s work conscience (r=0.711, p>0.001). There is also a significant positive relationship between the mean score of organizational justice and the staff’s work conscience (r=0.701, p>0.001).
Conclusion: Reinforcing organizational justice, through applying laws and guidelines, leads to the enhancement of justice and the observance of fairness among the staff. Furthermore, improving organizational development will provide a stronger basis for the health staff’s bringing their conscience to work.
