Organizational commitment as one of the important organizational variables can be influenced by leadership styles and their behavior. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of ethical leadership on different dimensions of organizational commitment. Thus, we first described ethical leadership and organizational commitment and their dimensions. Then, by reviewing the literature we proposed some hypothesis to investigate the effects of the dimensions of ethical leadership on organizational commitment. Next, we collected data from the target community. Then, by using exploratory factor analysis we examined dimensions of ethical leadership and organizational commitment that it was determined three dimensions for each variable. Dimensions of ethical leadership includes morality and fairness, role clarification and power sharing and dimensions of organizational commitment are affective commitment, continuance commitment and normative commitment. Then by using confirmatory factor analysis and AMOS software we examined the hypothesis. The results show that role clarification is effective only on affective commitment. Morality and fairness are effective on affective and normative commitment. Power sharing has an impact on all three dimensions of organizational commitment

The purpose of this paper is to examine the effects of organizational justice on employee voice and also their effects on employee performance. Thus, we first described organizational voice and justice and their dimensions. Also, by reviewing the literature we have provided the appropriate assumptions. Next, we collected data from target community to investigate hypothesis. Data collection tool was a questionnaire and the sample size was 257 employees and faculty members from Guilan university. Then, using exploratory factor analysis we identified the dimensions of organizational justice and voice. Organizational justice was compromised of three dimensions that includes distributive, procedural and interactional justice. Also, it was determined three dimensions for organizational voice that includes acquiescent, defensive and prosocial voice. Then, using confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis technique we examined hypothesis. The results show that the three dimensions of organizational justice has a significant influence on prosocial voice but they have no significant influence on acquiescent and defensive voice.
