At some points, organizations might have no choice but to attempt to adjust their staff and sack some. Obviously postponement or avoiding such layoffs in emergency times can be a serious threat to the whole well-being and survival of the business, but doing it the wrong way will also lead to bad consequences and costs. Hence the purpose of this study is to investigate the perception of justice in process of staff adjustment by remaining employees who survived it and its effects on their intention for quitting their jobs regarding their feeling of being guilty as a meditative variable. This paper is carried out by a descriptive-correlational method in which for collecting data questionnaires were used. To reach our purpose, using simple-random sampling method and Cochran's sample volume determination formula, 342 questionnaires were distributed among remaining staff in a company which produces vehicle parts and had done some layoffs recently. Collected data were analyzed by smart PLS software using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Results show that staff's opinions about justice in such adjustments have reverse relationship with their feeling of being guilty; in other words, the more these staff find company's layoffs unfair, more do they feel guilty' and as a result, their tendency & willingness to quit their jobs will increase.
