The Statistical population consists of all the administrative personnel and the academic staff in the academic year 87-88            (N =380). The study sample included 190 male and female staff of the University based on relative random-stratified sampling.In order to collect data, researcher-made questionnaires-organizational justice questionnaire, civil behavior questionnaire, and job satisfaction questionnaire-were used. The results showed that there is a meaningful relationship between the variables of organizational justice and civil behavior with the job satisfaction of the staff, and both variables have the capabilitiy of predicting job satisfaction, but this capability was higher in the case of the organizational justice.
