Background: An optimal quality of working life (QWL) is crucial for the preservation and maintenance of employees. Organizational justice, as a significant organizational factor, leads to the improvement and enhancement of QWL in organizations, which can in turn promote organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and ultimately increased productivity. One variable that can be influenced by organizational justice is self-efficacy, which strengthens the flexibility of nurses in challenging operating room environments. Professional values form the foundation of the nursing profession, enabling nurses to manage conflicts and prioritize actions. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between organizational justice and quality of work life, with an emphasis on the mediating role of professional values and self-efficacy among the operating room and anesthesia nurses. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in Iran in 2023.Via convenience sampling, 376 operating room and anesthesia nurses participated in this study. Data were collected in person using five questionnaires: demographic characteristics, organizational justice (Niehoff & Moorman), quality of work life (Walton), professional values (Schank & Weis), and job self-efficacy (Riggs). Results: 376 operating room and anesthesia nurses with a mean age of 33.92 ± 7.02 years and a mean work experience of 9.98 ± 7.76 years participated in the study. The majority were female (60.6%). According to the results of structural equation modeling, the mediating variables of professional values (T-values = 7.11) and self-efficacy (T-values = 4.46) had a statistically significant effect on the correlation between organizational justice and nurses' QWL. The results of the Sobel test and Variance Accounted For (VAF) statistics also confirmed the mediating role of professional values and self-efficacy in the relationship between organizational justice and QWL. Conclusion: Organizational justice not only directly impacts QWL but also indirectly affects it through professional values and self-efficacy. Policymakers in the healthcare system and hospital managers can enhance QWL and promote a fairer work environment in operating rooms by increasing their self-efficacy levels and respecting nursing professional values.
