Organizational justice is one of the most important ethical issues and ethical leadership in organizations. Therefore, this study aimed to determine the relationship between organizational justice on job significance and organizational identity through the mediator variable of social responsibility among hospital treatment staff.

The method of this research is descriptive-correlational and the statistical population consists of 350 employees of Imam Reza (AS) hospital in Urmia. 186 employees have been selected by stratified sampling method. The standard organizational justice questionnaires of Li and Cropanzan, Michel and Stegmaier and Sonntag job significance questionnaires, Tuker corporate social responsibility and Meal and Ashforth organizational identity questionnaires were used to collect data. Data analysis was performed by Pearson correlation and path analysis using SPSS and Lisrel software.

Ethical Considerations:

 Participants' verbal consent was obtained and they were assured about confidentiality of information.

Findings showed a correlation between variables and explained that there is a positive relationship between organizational justice and social responsibility (β=0.57), organizational justice and organizational identity (β=0.28) as well as organizational justice and job significance (β=0.21). The studies confirmed the mediator role of social responsibility in the relationship between organizational justice and organizational identity and job significance and also a direct relationship between organizational justice and job significance and organizational identity.

The results showed that attention to organizational justice and social responsibility promotes organizational identity and job significance among the treatment staff.

In previous studies, the relationship between ethical leadership as the most important factor in the survival and success of organizations, with job meaningfulness, group learning behaviour and organizational identity, with the mediating role of justice has not been studied much. Therefore, the present study aims to investigate the causal effect of ethical leadership on job meaningfulness, group learning behaviour and organizational identity in the presence of the mediating variable of justice.

This is a descriptive-correlation research. The samples included 186 staff members of Imam Reza Hospital in Urmia who were selected by stratified random sampling method. The data were collected through the questionnaires of ethical leadership, justice, job meaningfulness, group learning behaviour and organizational identity. Consequently, the data were analysed employing LISREL 18.8 software using structural equation modellin.

 In this study, ethical concerns such as explaining the research objectives, providing informed consent form, voluntary participation and ensuring the confidentiality of information were taken into consideration.

The findings indicate that the role of justice in mediating the relationship between ethical leadership and group learning behaviour, job meaningfulness and organizational identity in the structural equation model has been confirmed. In addition, there has been a significant relationship between ethical leadership and justice (coefficient=0.53). Job meaningfulness has had a positive impact on justice as well (coefficient=0.36). Furthermore, justice has had a significant positive impact on group learning behaviour (coefficient=0.82), job meaningfulness (coefficient=0.43) and organizational identity (coefficient=0.60).

The results showed that the mediating variable of justice has a significant role in explaining the influence of ethical leadership on job meaningfulness, group learning behaviour and organizational identity among the hospital staff. Therefore, we suggest that the organisation adopt appropriate strategies in selecting managers and improving their ethical leadership dimension.
