The population included all 400 employees at KMU headquarters, among whom 147 members were selected as the sample using Cochran’s formula. In this study, two questionnaires were used: organizational justice questionnaire with a reliability of 0.91 and employees’ silence questionnaire with a reliability of 0.92. For data analysis, Pearson and Spearman correlation, regression testing, by SPSS software were used.
Results: The findings showed that there was an inverse relationship between organizational, distributive, procedural, and interactional justice with employees' silence in Kerman University of Medical Sciences. The regression findings showed that the variable “distributive justice” had the strongest negative effect on employees' silence.  
Conclusion: Encouraging employees to provide positive ideas, identify the existing problems, and reduce undesirable behavior like employees' silence can make employees operate more efficiently. Organizational justice is based on fair treatment, and it determines the employees’ reaction to organizational decisions. Therefore, it can partly remove problems and lead to the decline of employees' silence.

Abstract
Background and Aim: Job stress is one of the reasons of low motivation and leaving one's job, and its reduction can have positive consequences. According to studies, staff's development and their positive self concept toward workplace can reduce job stress. The aim of this research is to study the effect of human resource development on job stress with regard to the mediator role of self concept in Shiraz University of Medical Sciences(SUMS).
Materials and Methods: This is a correlational descriptive study. The research community included 584 staff members, of whom 234 were selected using Morgan's table in 2018. To collect data, 3 standard questionnaires were used, and their content validity and reliability were confirmed. For data analysis, structural equation modeling and Amos and SPSS softwares were used.
Results: The findings showed that human resource development had a reverse effect on staff job stress(path coefficient -0.778). Moreover, human resource development had a direct effect on job stress(path coefficient 0.843), but staff self concept did not have any effect on job stress(path coefficient 0.166). Since the paths of human resource development-self concept and self concept-job stress were not meaningful, human resource development did not have any effect on job stress by way of the mediator variable of self concept in confidence level 0.95.
Conclusion: According to the results of this study, conducting the staff's continuous development to promote their skills and abilities for declining job stress is emphasized.
