Abstract: (115 Views)
Background Healthcare centers play a vital role in ensuring the health of the entire population, and nursing staff, in particular, play a significant role in improving health-related indicators in these centers. Attention to organizational justice in these personnel has always been of interest to increase their job satisfaction. This study examined the relationship between organizational justice with job satisfaction of nurses in hospitals affiliated with Hamadan University of Medical Sciences.
Methods This descriptive cross-sectional study included all nurses in educational hospitals in Hamadan in 2024. A total of 210 nurses were selected through stratified random sampling based on inclusion criteria from nurses in educational hospitals in Hamadan. Data were collected using three questionnaires: a demographic information questionnaire, the Organizational Justice Questionnaire (Niehoff & Moorman), and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics (mean and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis) in SPSS version 22.
Results The findings indicated that organizational justice was moderate (47.99±8.27), whereas nurses’ job satisfaction was low (39.34±6.11). A positive and significant correlation exists between organizational justice and nurses’ job satisfaction (r = 0.52; p < 0.05).
Conclusion Given the positive relationship between organizational justice and nurses’ job satisfaction, it is recommended that managers focus on the various dimensions of organizational justice to promote more effective management and ultimately improve nurses’ job satisfaction.
