Abstract

Purpose
This study aims to examine the mediating effects of psychological contracts and subjective career success and the effect of organizational justice on organizational citizenship behavior among hospital nurses.
Methods
The data were collected using structured questionnaires through online surveys from 200 nurses in hospitals located in P metropolitan city and J city from February 9 to March 8, 2022. Data were analyzed using SPSS 26.0, Hayes’s SPSS Process Macro 4.0 version program, and bootstrapping.
Results
The paths of organizational justice to psychological contract, psychological contract to subjective career success, and subjective career success to organizational citizenship behavior were significant. The double mediating effects of psychological contract and subjective career success were significant in the relationship between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behavior.
Conclusion
Based on this study, nursing managers should enable nurses to positively perceive organizational justice and the psychological contract. For this, efforts should be made to secure a transparent and fair system. For subjective career success, it is necessary to establish a career management system and provide opportunities for career development such as relevant education at the organizational level. This will be a motivating process that can induce organizational citizenship behavior.
