The Antecedent Role of Justice Perception on Organizational Citizenship Behavior

Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) is an important factor that promotes efficient, effective and high performance. OCB is affected by an individuals attitudes, behaviors, and perceptions of the organization and in this context; one might mention many antecedents of OCB. In the present study, the relation between OCB and organizational justice perception as an antecedent in a group of 116 public sector manager candidates who were studying in the public sector was examined and an attempt was made to close the gaps in variable dimensions of previous studies. The findings showed that organizational justice perceptions had positive and significant effects on OCBs toward the organization (conscientiousness, sportsmanship and civic virtue), but had no effect on OCBs toward individuals (altruism and courtesy).
