Abstract:
The recent literature, organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) has received much attention by scholars.
Organizational justice perception on the other hand comprises the employees perceptions associated with
rewards, outcomes, decision making and participation in decision making processes and it is one of the
dominating factor in organizational life. Both of these variables directly linked with organizational efficiency
and effectiveness. The main objective of this study is to find the impact of organizational justice perception on
organizational citizenship behavior. A stratified random sample of 230 school teachers in the eastern region of
Sri Lanka participated in this study. The data were collected using validated questionnaire and were analyzed.
The results revealed that the perception of justice is a strong predictor of organizational citizenship behavior. The
relationship between each dimensions of organizational justice (distributive, procedural and interactive) and
organizational citizenship behavior were also tested. As the scope for performing extra role is much more
broader for school teachers, considering the findings of this study it is possible to recommend the educational
institutions to increase the level of justice to increase their engagement in organizational citizenship behavior.
