Abstract

Today, to develop a successful Information Technology development project, it is important to have good employees. However, it is not enough to just acquire them and maintain their skills; they should help the project in a meaningful way, such as by showing supportive activity, i.e. organizational citizenship behavior. However, Information Technology employees have various motivational factors, and unofficial behavior patterns, and show different organizational citizenship behavior than those who work in other fields. Also, projects provide various facets of operations in an organization and change organizational citizenship behavior. This combination creates a unique context in which it is unlikely that information technology employees (working on team projects) perceptions of justice will follow the same patterns as those created for operational functions. To determine whether justice can cause favorable behavior and attitudes in this new context, a survey was conducted among members of Information Technology development projects. Data from 141 respondents in project teams showed that justice, as measured by employees' perceptions of justice, increased job commitment. Job commitment acts as a mediator between justice and organizational citizenship behaviors. Therefore, project leaders should strive to increase people's perception of fairness in the distribution of behaviors and rewards.
