Abstract

Neutrality in the current business environment is desperately needed because today's economy is a knowledge-based economy. This research is a survey-applied study and evaluates the impact of organizational justice on knowledge sharing among teachers and staff in a teaching environment. This study focuses on five forms of organizational justice (distributive, procedural, interactive, temporal and spatial) and two forms of knowledge sharing (transfer and collection). Data were analyzed using SPSS software and as this study tests a set of correlations, the data from the questionnaire were modeled using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) and Amos software. The results show that there is a positive and direct relationship between organizational justice and knowledge sharing. The results of this study indicate that there is no significant relationship between distributive justice in Malek Ashtar University of Technology, but between the other four dimensions of organizational justice (procedural justice, interactive justice, temporal justice and spatial justice) and knowledge sharing a positive relationship. And there is meaning.
