In developing a successful Information Technology (IT) development project today, good IT personnel are crucial. However, just achieving and maintaining their skills is not sufficient; they must contribute to the project in a meaningful fashion, including their supportive activity: organizational citizenship behavior (OCB). However, IT personnel have different motivational factors, informal behavior patterns, and exhibit OCBs different from those in other fields. In addition, projects present a different face than operations in an organization and alter the context of OCBs. This combination leads to a unique setting where the perceptions of equity by IS employees in project teams are unlikely to follow patterns established for functional operations. To determine if perceived equity can lead to desirable attitudes and behavior in this novel setting, we surveyed IS team members of development projects. Data from 141 respondents in projects teams indicated that equity, as measured by perceptions of justice, add to job commitment, which serves as a mediator between the justice and OCBs. Therefore, project leaders must strive to raise people's understanding of equality in the distribution of rewards and behaviors.

Justice plays an important role in dynamics of organizational relationships including leader-follower relationships and …, hence it is a main considering point for all managers and staff. Based on this matter and regarding the cultural and social texture of Iran’s organizations this research aims to propose the comprehensive model of justice by applying Islamic approach. The research method is qualitative on the base of data type, fundamental on the base of results and exploratory on the base of object. Also regarding the necessity of inference from the holy Quran, the main reference for religious Ejtehad, the strategy of analyzing context based on the Islamic foundations and values was used among different strategies of qualitative research; and for gathering data Rahnam, Noor and Almizan books of Quran interpretation were used and all verses with interpretations related to justice, oppression and other related words were studied and coded. The result showed that the model of organizational justice applying Islamic approach is consisted of 35 concepts (indexes), so that the identified concepts were categorized in three categories of distributional justice, procedural justice and interactional justice
