Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the role of job satisfaction in the
relationship between organizational justices and turnover intention in experts
of sport federations. In this regard, Wood job satisfaction (1986), Kim and
Lung (2007) organizational justice, and Cummann (1979) turnover intention
questionnaires were used. The statistical population consisted of experts of
sport federations and 210 experts were selected as the sample. Construct
validity of the questionnaires were confirmed by confirmatory factor
analysis and LISREL8.8. The reliability of the questionnaires was
determined as 0.84, 0.87 and 0.86 respectively. For data analysis, Structural
Equation Modeling and Visual PLS Software were used. Findings showed
that the effect of organizational justice on job satisfaction was significant
(β= 0.775, t=21.189) and on turnover intention was not significant (β= -
0.016, t= -0.211). Also, findings showed that the effect of job satisfaction on
turnover intention was negative and significant (β= -0.520, t= -4.75). Other
finding was that indirect effect of organizational justice (β= -0.403) on
turnover intention was greater than its direct effect (β= -0.016) (-1.96≤ t
value ≤+1.96). It is suggested that sports federations should promote
organizational justice and job satisfaction in their employees in order to
reduce their turnover intention.
