A Theoretical Explanation of the Impact of Distributive Justice on the Motivation of Human Resources from Nahj-ul-Balaghah's View Point

The Subject of "justice" has long been one of the most important issues and the special concern of man and thinkers in various fields of study. Justice ensures the life and survival of social systems and maintains the continuity of organizations and the consistency of the different organizational elements, while injustice leads to their disintegration and decline. On the other hand, one of the main Functions of management is to motivate employees, i.e. to create and strengthen inner force in the staff, which contributes to the exhibition and continuation of certain behaviors. Justice is the most important factor which motivates the working staff. All three types of justice (i.e. distributive, procedural, and interactional) have a direct impact on the motivation of human resources. Using a descriptive-analytical method, this paper seeks to show what, according to Nahjul Balaghah, the effect of "distributive justice" on the motivation of human resources is. The research findings show that "distributive justice", in the sense of "fairness in the division of labor, the selection of human resource, the payment and distribution of rewards and punishment" directly affects the motivation of human resources of an organization.
