Abstract: Background: In today's competitive world, organizations are constantly seeking new ways to maximize the performance of their employees. Despite the increased use of information technology, there are still gaps in performance and efficient organization. There is strongly idea that the performance of organization largely depends to the efforts of the employees beyond the requirements of the role. These behaviors named as over duties behavior, spontaneous behavior and organizational citizenship behavior. Today, these behaviors are an integral part in performance management and have been entered in organizational various aspects. Researches show that perceived organizational justice is one of the factors that lead to citizenship behavior.

In addition, coefficient level between two variables equals to 0.289 and this situation show that independent variable can predict dependent variable extent to 28.9.
