Organizational Justice essential factor could increase the organizational citizenship behaviours among employees in the workplace. This study aims to examine the impact of organizational justice on organizational citizenship behaviours among nurses. The study employed a quantitative method to examine the impact of organizational justice on organizational citizenship behaviours among nurses. The study conducted in Heet General Hospital and the questionnaire tool's used to collect the data. However, the questionnaires consist of three main elements of organizational justice (distributive, interactional and procedural justice) and the organizational citizenship behaviour items. The data is analyzed by Smart PLS. The result indicated that the distributive and interactional justice have a positive and significant impact on organizational citizenship behaviours among nurses. In contrast, procedural justice has no significant impact on organizational citizenship behaviours among nurses. Distributive justice predicted organizational citizenship behaviours more than interactional justice. The study contributed to enrich the body of literature, which is suffering the lack of study among nurses.
