The research problem can be summarized in the following main
question:
How can the relationship between organizational justice and
Teachers Performance of Citizenship Behavior in the General
Secondary Schools in Egypt be activated?

between organizational justice and teachers\' performance of

2- What is the level of teachers\' assessment to organizational
justice in the general secondary schools in Egypt?
3- What is the level of teachers\' performance of citizenship
behavior in the general secondary schools in Egypt?
4- To what extent can the theoretical model be identified with the
actual relations existed between organizational justice and
teachers\' performance of citizenship behavior in the general
secondary schools in Egypt?

justice and enhance teachers\' performance of citizenship
behavior in the general secondary schools in Egypt?
