علاقة الاعتقاد بعدالة العالم بسلوك المواطنة و الدور الوسيط للعدالة الاجتماعية بينهما لدى عينة من الكويتيين و غير محددي الجنسية

الملخص EN

This study aims to investigate the relationship between Belief in Justice World (BJW) and Citizenship Behavior (CB), and the possible mediation role of Social Justice (SJ).

Method: The study design was correlational and causal comparative.

It included 200 participants (100 Kuwaitis, 100 without nationalities).

The number of males and females was equal between them, with an average age of 30.88 (p = 9.27).

Three scales were applied from a distance: the scale of the global belief in the justice of the world (BJW) (alpha 0.78), the scale of social justice (SJ) (alpha 0.89), and the scale of citizenship behavior (CB) (alpha 0.95).

Results: The results showed a positive, statistically significant correlation between belief in the justice of the world and citizenship behavior, and between social justice and citizenship behavior.

And social justice does not mediate between them.

It also indicated that the average of Kuwaitis in their belief in the justice of the world is higher than the average of nonnationals, and that the average of non-nationals in social justice is higher than the average of Kuwaitis, while there are no significant differences between them in the behavior of citizenship.

Conclusion: The results of this study may help the decision maker to understand justice from its psychological and social angle, in a way that enables it to objectively deal with the problems associated with it, especially since the feeling of unfairness is linked to a decrease in citizenship behavior, and the consequent decrease in loyalty and performance.
