Background: Organizational justice (OJ), organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), and psychological capital (PsyCap) are all important constructs that have been shown to have a positive impact on employee well-being, performance, and organizational
effectiveness.
Aim: The present study investigated the relationship between these three constructs among healthcare academicians in Dera Ismail Khan, Pakistan.
Material & Methods: A cross-sectional survey design was used to collect data from 400 academicians. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and mediation analysis.
Results: The results showed that OJ was positively correlated with PsyCap, and OCB partially mediated the relationship between OJ and PsyCap. This means that OJ and OCB are both important factors in the development of PsyCap healthcare academicians. Organizations can promote PsyCap among their academicians by creating a just work environment and encouraging OCB. Studying has some limitations. The sample size was relatively small, and the
study was conducted in a single location. Future research should replicate the study with a larger sample and in different settings.
Limitations & Implications: Despite these limitations, the study provides valuable insights into the relationship between OJ, OCB, and PsyCap. The findings of the study can be used by organizations to promote PsyCap among their employees.
