The Impact of Perceived Organizational Justice on Organizational Commitment among Bouchrit Corporation Employees
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to examine the influence of perceived organizational justice on organizational commitment among a sample of employees within Bouchrit Corporation. Using a self-administered questionnaire, 31 employees, were randomly selected and surveyed. Correlation and regression analyses were used to examine the data. The study revealed an effect of organizational justice’s perceptions on organizational commitment. All organizational justice dimensions have a positive significance. The other findings are as follows:
- The perceptions of respondents concerning the dimensions of organizational justice were medium. The perceptions towards the interactional justice were the important factor among dimensions; while the procedural justice was the dimension the least perceived among the organizational justice dimensions.
- The respondent’s perception of the organizational commitment was medium.
- Organizational commitment showed significant positive correlation with all three dimensions of organizational justice.
The results were discussed in the light of the literature, and the context of the local work environment. The study, finally, a set of recommendations based on its concluded findings were proposed.
