Abstract

The world is entering a period where issues of fairness and justice will rise to the top of topics and studies in the field of organizational excellence in different and different forms. New millennium organizations are trans-industrial and knowledge-based organizations whose success and survival are based on creativity and innovation. Therefore, the present research was conducted with the aim of investigating the influence of organizational justice on individual innovative behaviors of employees. After conducting theoretical studies, the structural model of the research was developed based on Eisen's planned behavior model, presenting the interaction of 4 variables of organizational justice, individual innovative behavior, innovative climate and internal motivation, and by using reference questionnaires in these areas, the model was fitted with the data collected from 203 employees of one of the research institutes of Iran Space Organization using the PLS method. At the end, by calculating the value of GoF index equal to 0.264, the fit of the structural model of the research was confirmed and all the structural hypotheses of the model were confirmed at the confidence level of 95%. Based on the findings of this research, it was shown that the three aspects of organizational justice (procedural, distributive, interactive) independent of other factors such as creativity and internal motivation, are one of the effective and predictive factors in the occurrence of five functions of innovative behavior (opportunity finding, solution creation, constructive research, support and application) in the organization. Research and knowledge-oriented organizations have been formed, whose long-term survival and competitive advantage depends on innovation in the design and development of new products. (Arabi and Mousavi, 2018) With the shortening of the product life cycle in such organizations, innovation and development of new and innovative products play the role of lifeblood for the survival of these organizations. (Kim & Kim, 2009)

For organizations that compete in a changing and uncertain environment, innovation (Creation, transfer, reaction and change of creative ideas into action) is considered a vital factor for the growth, success and survival of the organization. (Mahlahsini and Bohrad, 2016) The individual innovation of employees in the work environment is the main basis for improving the performance of any organization. Based on this, along with the importance of creativity in people, studying their motivation is also very important for applying innovation in research centers. (Scott & Bruce, 2004) Behavior is a mirror in which people see their images and mental impressions. How people translate their beliefs and feelings into behaviors is a very complex issue in the science of organizational behavior. (Icek Ajzen, 2005) The perception of organizational justice is one of the important factors in the formation of employees' mental images and perceptions of the organization and thus determines their behaviors and feedback. It is not without reason that the American Space Agency (NASA) with all its unique features in terms of leadership in the field of science and new technologies, organizational breadth and complexity, has formed the Office of Diversity and Equality of Opportunities [1] in its structure in order to remove the obstacles to establishing equality in NASA and with the goals of creating equal employment opportunities and career development, and equality in enjoying financial support from NASA in various researches. The office's mission statement describes NASA as an environment that proudly supports integrity, excellence, teamwork, and fairness and equality. (Nasa Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity(ODEO), 2014)

The present study, considering the importance of employees' perception of organizational justice, examines the effect of this component on individual innovative behaviors of employees, considering the role of these employees in creating organizational innovation. For this purpose, after examining the background of the research and defining the conceptual model of the research, using the structural equation modeling approach, the relationship of these components is investigated in the form of the partial least squares method and based on the data collected from one of the sub-categories of the Iran Space Organization. Proving the hypotheses of this research can explain the need for a structure of responsibility towards organizational justice, especially in the structure of research-oriented organizations.

[1] Diversity and Equal Opportunity

The world is entering a period where issues of fairness and justice will rise to the top of issues and studies in the field of organizational excellence in different forms. (Greenberg, 1987)

The organizations of the new millennium are trans-industrial and knowledge-based organizations [1] whose success and survival are based on creativity and innovation. (Martins & Terblunch, 2003) In parallel with the increase in the production of new ideas and knowledge and the global development of science, the need for organizations to pay more attention and focus in this area also increases. In this era, for survival and progress, the flow of innovation in the organization must be continued in order to create resistance against stagnation and destruction. The condition of survival in the turbulent world of business is to pay attention to environmental changes, innovation and understanding the various aspects of creating innovation in business. Successful organizations have the capacity to absorb innovation in the form of organizational culture and management processes. (Gates, 2010) Therefore, the various components of organizational behavior, which are the source, origin and place of transformation to institutionalize innovation and creativity in organizations, should be given special attention. Since the specialized field of research organizations' performance is research, creativity, innovation and innovation, these organizations are more involved than other organizations with the internalization and standardization of innovation and need to invest and pay double attention in this field. Therefore, the main title of the research, as stated, is the development of a structural model of the influence of organizational justice on the innovative behavior of employees of research organizations using structural equation modeling tools. In this chapter, the concepts of research organization, organizational justice, and employee innovation as prerequisites for stating the main research question are defined and examined, and the research problem is addressed. financial) their main purpose is to conduct basic research[2], industrial research[3], or develop experimental experiments[4] and they publish their achievements in the form of trainings, publishing books, articles, films or transferring technology. (European Commission, 2006) The profits from all these activities are spent again for the organization's research. 

The product of these organizations is actually the knowledge and technologies that they provide to their customers in the form of various services. Therefore, the main competitive advantage of a research organization is based on human capital, who use their creative ideas in the form of innovation in the knowledge production processes of the organization and create the desired products. Since the dawn of creation, mankind has recognized it as an inner tendency and has turned to it and made it the basis of laws and judgments. Nothing is as painful and hateful to human nature as trampling on the rights of the weak and oppressed, and nothing creates hatred and enmity in hearts as much as injustice. (Haqpanah, 2010) Justice and its implementation is one of the basic and natural needs of human beings, as well as a religious and divine ideal that all prophets were sent to fulfill. The Holy Qur'an, in explaining the purpose of prophecy and the mission of the prophets, says: "Indeed, We sent our messengers with clear reasons, and with them We sent down the book and the measure, so that people may stand up to justice." (Surah Hadid, verse 25) Justice in the social sense is the purpose of prophecy and in the philosophical sense, it is the basis of resurrection. (Rezaian, 1390) In the epistemological view, just as "God commands justice and kindness" (Surah Nahl, verse 90), man, as a mirror of the existence of his Lord, naturally has a desire for justice and needs it in various aspects of life. Justice is one of the attributes of God, and this means that justice is one of the principles of existence and one of the principles of human life, and therefore it should be one of the principles of managing society at all levels. (Shariati, 1359)
