The role of commitment to supervisor on organizational justice and citizenship among Iranian employees

Abstract

The current study examined the relationship between commitment to supervisor, organizational justice, and organizational citizenship behavior among Iranian employees working at private and public companies. 160 employees from various organizations across industries were used to test the hypotheses in this study. Participants completed three questionnaires related to the variables in this study. Results were in congruity with the findings of the previous research, that organizational justice was positively correlated with both commitment to supervisor and organizational citizenship behavior. The results of the current study have important implications for organizations in that the impact of the relationship formed between a supervisor/manager and their employees can have far reaching implications for overall organizational functioning and ultimately organizational profitability.
