Abstract

The present research aims to study the moderating role of organizational culture in relation to procedural justice and perceived inequity with benefits' satisfaction. The statistical population was the operational em-ployees of two productive companies in Isfahan city. Out of the total statistical population, 222 persons were selected with the use of convenient sampling. Research tools included organizational culture questionnaire with 6 items, procedural justice with 10 items, distributive justice (for assessment of negative and positive perceived inequity) with 8 items and benefits satisfaction with 9 items. The data was analyzed using Pearson's correlation coefficient and moderated hierarchical regression analysis. The results show that there are signifi-cant relationship between benefits satisfaction and age, tenure, negative inequity, organizational culture and procedural justice. But there are no significant relationship between benefits satisfaction and gender and posi-tive inequity. The results of moderated hierarchical regression analysis show that organizational culture mod-erates the relationship between procedural justice with benefits satisfaction, i.e., the closer the organizational culture, the stronger the relationship between procedural justice and benefits satisfaction.
