Setting: The current study was carried out at different departments of Cairo university hospitals. Sample: A convenient sample of 100 staff nurses was selected from aforementioned setting. Tools. Two tools were used: Tool I: Organizational Justice Scale among staff nurses in two parts. First part: Nurses’ personal data. Second part: Organizational Justice Scale.
