The population and the statistical sample of this research are selected from the employees of the selected public departments (electricity, water, education, telecommunications, agricultural Jihad, and the governor’s office) in Fasa, nominated on the basis of the census method. The total selected departments included 270 employees, 210 of whom responded to the questionnaires.

Structural equation modeling with Smart-PLS3 software was employed to analyze the data was. The results indicated that Islamic work ethic and perception of organizational justice have a positive effect on job satisfaction.
