The instruments used in present study consist of Organizational Justice Questionnaire, Citizenship Motives Scale, and OCB Questionnaire. Results indicated that all types of justice were correlated with organizational citizenship behaviors, positively. Moreover, there was a positive correlation between motives for organizational citizenship behaviors and organizational citizenship behaviors.
