Abstract

The purpose of this article is to investigate the effects of the dimensions of organizational justice on organizational commitment. On this basis, the main question and five hypotheses have been developed. The hypotheses are based on the conceptual model of research. Considering the nature of the statistical population and the temporal and spatial limitations, we have used the measurement method of research in our study. The selected sample from the 6000 strong statistical population (all the employees of the University of Medical Sciences of the province of Lorestan) consisted of 361 persons chosen by using the Morgan Table. Questionnaires were the tool employed for gathering information in the study. The first part of the questionnaire was devoted to sociological information, and the second part to gathering information about organizational justice. To evaluate the stability of the tools used in the research, the Cronbach’s alpha method was used. The information gathered in the questionnaires was analyzed at the two levels of descriptive analysis (that is, the descriptive analysis of the data concerning the population and the analysis of the description of the data specific to the study) and inferential analysis.

 

Key words: Organizational justice, organizational commitment, Cronbach’s alpha.
