Designing a structural model of organizational justice, determining antecedents (organizational climate, emotional intelligence, organizational ethical values) and outcomes (organizational entrepreneurship)

Justice is a human rights law. One type of justice is organizational justice, which is affected by various factors. But the key question is, does emotional intelligence have a direct impact on organizational justice and organizational entrepreneurship? And does mediating organizational justice have an indirect effect on organizational entrepreneurship?

To design a structural model of organizational justice, identifying antecedents (organizational climate, emotional intelligence, organizational ethical values) and outcomes (organizational entrepreneurship).

The research was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included all administrative and educational staff who were all selected as sample. Research tools include: Halpin & Craft (2000), Organizational Entrepreneurship Questionnaire, Marguerite Hill (2003), Nihof-Moorman Organizational Justice Questionnaire (1993), Shout et al. (1998), and Ethical Values Questionnaire. Organization Amix et al. (2008). Data were analyzed using structural equation method.

The results showed that emotional intelligence as an individual variable of organizational justice and entrepreneurship had no effect (P<0/001). Ethical values have a direct effect on organizational justice, but it does not affect entrepreneurship, but has an indirect effect on organizational justice. From the dimensions of organizational climate, the emphasis on production has a direct positive effect on organizational justice and organizational entrepreneurship. Harassment has a direct negative effect on organizational justice and entrepreneurship. The impact of these two is enhanced by the mediation of organizational justice on entrepreneurship. Spacing on organizational entrepreneurship has a significant negative direct effect. Group spirit has a significant negative direct effect on organizational justice. Also, mediating organizational justice has an indirect negative effect on entrepreneurship. Consideration has a positive and meaningful direct effect on organizational justice; it has a significant positive effect on organizational entrepreneurship only through the mediation of organizational justice. Organizational justice has a direct and positive effect on organizational entrepreneurship. Ethical values and organizational climate influence perceptions of organizational justice that mediate the role of justice in organizational entrepreneurship (P<0/05).

Ethical values and organizational climate are influenced by perceptions of organizational justice that mediate the role of organizational justice in organizational entrepreneurship.
