The intention of this paper is to investigate the mediating role of work engagement between the four dimensions of organizational justice (OJ) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) dimensions. The current literature appears to have overlooked the mediating role of work engagement (WE) in the link between justice and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in higher education institutions (HEIs). As a result, it appears to be one of the primary studies of its kind to investigate the relationship between OJ dimensions (e.g., procedural, distributive, informational, and interpersonal justice) and OCB dimensions (e.g., OCBI and OCBO). Data were collected from 121 faculty members from ten private universities operating in Bangladesh. The PLS-SEM was employed to investigate hypotheses. The investigation found OJ is positively connected to WE. Besides, WE is significantly related to OCB. Moreover, WE mediated the relationship between OJ dimensions and OCB dimensions, except for the relationship between PJ and OCB dimensions. The study provides necessary guidelines for the organizations regarding how they might improve citizenship behavior by ensuring justice and engagement in the workplace. Therefore, the application of the findings might ensure better employee outcomes and organizational productivity.
本文旨在探讨工作投入在组织公正（OJ）的四个维度与组织公民行为（OCB）维度之间的中介作用。当前文献似乎忽略了工作投入（WE）在高等教育机构（HEIs）中公正与组织公民行为（OCB）之间联系的中介作用。因此，这似乎是同类研究中首次对组织公正维度（如程序公正、分配公正、信息公正和人际公正）与组织公民行为维度（如个体组织公民行为和组织导向公民行为）之间的关系进行调查。数据收集自孟加拉国运营的十所私立大学的121名教职员工。采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）来检验假设。调查发现组织公正与工作投入呈正相关。此外，工作投入与组织公民行为显著相关。而且，工作投入在组织公正维度和组织公民行为维度之间起到了中介作用，但程序公正与组织公民行为维度之间的关系除外。该研究为组织提供了必要的指导方针，说明它们如何通过确保工作场所的公正和员工投入来改善公民行为。因此，研究结果的应用可能会确保更好的员工绩效和组织生产力。
