2 The Impact of Organizational Justice On Organizational Citizenship Behavior In Naftal (GPL) Bechar Algeria 1. INTRODUCTION The norms and values of fairness and justice constitute a fundamental feature of behavior in organizations (and in other situations, for that matter), it should come as no surprise that the issue of justice has received considerable attention from many academic disciplines, each with its own perspectives on the study of organizational justice. This is important because a multi-perspectives approach probably will yield the most thorough insights into the object of study. Furthermore, I argue that because organizational justice is important, it is essential to study it by means of various research methods. Each method has its own strengths and weaknesses, and in my opinion the justice domain will make the most progress if it uses equally all available methods. This is a paper about organizational justice and organizational behavior. I start from the premise that justice processes play a crucial role in organizations. The problem of the study What is the effect of organizational justice on organizational citizenship behavior in corporation NAFTAL Bechar - Algeria 2. DEFINING ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE AND ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP 2.2. Defining organizational justice Justice is the loveliest, holiest and most perfect words in the vocabulary of human civilization that its observation is considered the most essential affairs in term of every human perspective. Justice is namely to justice. According to the Dictionary of Dehkhoda Justice means endurance, in law is perseverance through right and avoiding what difficulty (forbidden) in religion. Oxford dictionary is described justice as protect the rights by using the authority and power, defending the rights with determines reward or punishment. Concept of justice means fairness, equality, judge with truth and honesty in dealing with the organization's staff is closer our goals in definition of this word. Justice is an abstract concept that it takes consider the different interpretations. When this concept is used in the enterprise environment, in fact is organizational justice. Organizational justice concept first formed in philosophy and then entered to the social psychology literature. In organization and management literature, many definitions of organizational justice are provided: Organizational justice can be defined as follows: Study of equality at work. Organizational justice refers to fairness and ethical behavior within an organization. Organizational justice is defined as personal sense from fair wages and benefits. Organizational Justice emphasizes manager decision, perceived equality, effects of justice, and the relationship between individual and environmental and describes individuals' perceptions of fairness in organizations. In Greenberg opinion, organizational justice is related to staff perceptions from work fairness in organization. In fact this term used to describe and interpret role of fairness in work environment. Folger&Cropanzano two of the main researchers in the field of organizational justice are defined conditions of involvement people that they believe that have fair or unfair treatment with them Dimensions of Organizational Justice Organizational justice research started with a focus on the fairness of the allocation of outcomes, which is termed distributive justice. Different theories evolved around this concept, the most wellknown of which is equity theory (Adams, 1965). The basic tenet of equity theory is that individuals editor@iaeme.com

3 Souad Douli, Ilyes Slimani, Kamel Berbaoui perceive an outcome as fair when it matches the extent of their contributions (in relation to others or their own earlier contributions). For instance, when a co-worker with the same educational background receives more pay than oneself for the same work, one is likely to perceive the situation as unfair. In this example, the equity rule was violated. Other rules for allocations exist, concerning distributing according to need and allocating the same outcomes to all (Deutsch, 1975; Leventhal, 1976). Another key facet of justice, procedural justice, was advanced by two research groups around the same time. One research group, led by Thibaut and Walker (1975), showed, in studies on dispute resolution, that when defendants were able to voice their points of view during the decisionmaking process (i.e., a specific type of process control), they perceived the outcome to be fairer than when their voice was denied. The second research group, led by Leventhal (1980; Leventhal, Karuza, & Fry, 1980), suggested that individuals are not only interested in rewards, punishments, and outcomes but also in how the outcomes are arrived at. Even when an outcome is just, individuals can perceive injustice when the outcomes are achieved through an unfair procedure. Leventhal (1980) proposed six rules for a fair process: that decisions are based on accurate information, are correctable, representative of all parties involved, free of bias, and ethical, and that the allocation process is consistent for different individuals and over time. 3. DEFINING ORGANIZATIONAL CITIZENSHIP Dennis Organ is generally considered the father of OCB. Organ expanded upon Katz's (1964) original work. Organ (1988) defines OCB as individual behavior that is discretionary, not directly or explicitly recognized by the formal reward system, and that in the aggregate promotes the effective functioning of the organization". Organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) was first introduced by Bateman and Organ (1983) and by Smith, Organ, and Near (1983). OCBhas received a considerable amount of scholarly attention since then. Much of that attention focused on the identification of predictors of OCB. Individual characteristics (e.g., organizational commitment), task characteristics (e.g., task feedback, reutilization), organizational characteristics (e.g., reward structure, perceived organizational support), and leadership behaviors (e.g., transformational leadership) have all been identified as important predictors. We can look at a company like a little city. It has a mayor (typically the owner or the person highest in charge) as well as different departments (heck, we can even have the cleaning crew as the sanitation department). So if we can look at a company like a little city, we can begin to look at the employees as citizens of that city. With that perspective in mind, we can see how citizens of our little city want it to be the best city it can be. They have a stake in wanting the city to be clean, prosperous and friendly The characteristics of the organizational citizenship behavior (Johns 1996) identified several characteristics of organizational citizenship behavior, including: - That the behavior is optional, it does not have a description for the individual function. - Voluntary behavior that stems from the additional roles that can be done by the individual. - It contributes to increasing the effectiveness of the organization. -.Do not be rewarded through formal incentive systems of the organization editor@iaeme.com

4 The Impact of Organizational Justice On Organizational Citizenship Behavior In Naftal (GPL) Bechar Algeria 3.2. Three main proposed components of organizational justice are distributive, procedural, and interactional justice (which includes informational and interpersonal justice). Distributive justice is conceptualized as the fairness associated with decision outcomes and distribution of resources. The outcomes or resources distributed may be tangible (e.g., pay) or intangible (e.g., praise). Perceptions of distributive justice can be fostered when outcomes are perceived to be equally applied (Adams, 1965). Procedural justice is defined as the fairness of the processes that lead to outcomes. When individuals feel that they have a voice in the process or that the process involves characteristics such as consistency, accuracy, ethicality, and lack of bias then procedural justice is enhanced (Leventhal, 1980). Interactional justice refers to the treatment that an individual receives as decisions are made and can be promoted by providing explanations for decisions and delivering the news with sensitivity and respect (Bies&Moag, 1986). A construct validation study by Colquitt (2001) suggests that interactional justice should be broken into two components: interpersonal and informational justice. Interpersonal justice refers to perceptions of respect and propriety in one's treatment while informational justice relates to the adequacy of the explanations given in terms of their timeliness, specificity, and truthfulness. Interpersonal justice "reflects the degree to which people are treated with politeness, dignity, and respect by authorities and third parties involved in executing procedures or determining outcomes". Informational justice "focuses on explanations provided to people that convey information about why procedures were used in a certain way or why outcomes were distributed in a certain fashion". 4.

11 Souad Douli, Ilyes Slimani, Kamel Berbaoui 7. CONCLUSION And through all of the above and after the test all the assumptions we conclude that all of the study of organizational justice has increased markedly in the past few years, little work has focused on the relationship between justice perceptions and extrarole behaviors. This study examined the relationship between perceptions of fairness and organizational citizenship behaviors in a sample drawn from naftal. A theoretical basis for a relationship between fairness and citizenship was drawn from theory and other theories of social exchange. Structural equation analysis found support for 3 hypotheses, including support for a relationship between perceptions of procedural justice and citizenship dimensions. Conversely, perceptions of distributive justice failed to influence any dimension of citizenship. Implications for the relationship between procedural justice and citizenship are discussed.
