 Abstract:

The purpose of this study is to analyze the impact of organizational justice on level of job involvement in the Saudi Postal Corporation of the Northern Border Region. The study uses analytical and descriptive methodology. The data were collected from different sources through the tool of questionnaire. The sample of 174 participants from the Saudi Postal Corporation was surveyed. The study uses the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) program for testing the hypotheses and analyzing the data. The level of organizational justice and job involvement is above the average, also there is no significant difference between employees' perception, organizational justice dimensions, and job involvement level. Moreover, there is a positive correlation between organizational justice and job involvement. The dimensions of organizational justice inducing; distributive, procedural, and interactive are explained by (79.6%) of the changes that happened in the job involvement. The study addresses the necessity of reinforcing organizational culture on employees through rewarding the workers materially and morally. Moreover, it is necessary to connect moral and material incentives with a set of objective measurements and standards that are associated with the dimensions and requirements of organizational justice in order to increase the workers engagement opportunities in administrative decision making process and to create good relations with workers to guarantee organizational loyalty.
