Abstract:

Background & Objectives: Hospitals are one of the important components in a health care system and have significant role in health of humans. Organizational justice shows the perception of fairness and equality in the workplace by staff and affects their behavior. This study examines the relationship between organizational justice perception and self-efficacy in employees of a selected hospital of Tabriz/ Iran.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional descriptive- analytic study performed on 156 employees of one of the selected hospitals of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences. Chen, Gully & Eden Self-efficacy questionnaire and Rego and Cunha organizational justice questionnaire were used as data collection tools. Data analysis was done through SPSS23 and using analytic statistical tests such as Spearman correlation, Chi-Square and regression.
Results: There was a significant positive relationship between dimensions of organizational justice and self- efficacy (P<0.01). Also, based on the results of regression analysis, information justice was a stronger predictor of self- efficacy. Eventually, the elements of procedural, interactions and information justice could predict 14% of variations of self- efficacy.
Conclusion: Since dimensions of organizational justice affect employees' self- efficacy, hospital managers should find appropriate strategies for improving organizational justice in order to increase self- efficacy and ultimately the performance of their employees.
