Abstract:
Elite migration and brain drain trend in Iran have undergone a dramatic ascent in the past few decades while we are seriously in need of educated manpower to help accomplish the 20-year national vision. So to consider brain drain is necessary and must be accounted by policymakers in all levels. In the upcoming paper، we study the brain drain as a social problem and elaborate a five-dimensional social justice model as the main cause of brain drain. The results exhibit significant and reverse effects of distributional justice، emotional justice، procedural justice، transactional justice، and informational justice on brain drain intention.

Thus, regarding the need for research in this very field, this paper concentrates on social justice as a main factor influencing brain drain.
Therefore the five-factor model is the most accurate one in explaining social justice and brain drain relationship.
Social Justice, Brain Drain, and Research Hypotheses In this paper we propose perceived social justice as a reason influencing the migration intention.
The results of confirmatory factor analysis for both intention to brain drain and social justice are shown in tables 1 and 2.
In this study, as expected, a negative relationship between social justice and intention to brain drain in Iran is represented.
According to the results of table 3, the main hypothesis of study - the relationship between social justice and intention to brain drain - is confirmed.
This means about 60 % of intention to brain drain could be explained by perceived insufficient social justice in Iran.
Here, regarding the elites' perceived justice, for social justice improvement in the country the factors are discussed: Distributive justice is so objective and so sensitive in brain drain management.
