| Summary: | Perception of fairness among employees is a guiding force that influences employee
attitude and behaviour. However, the mechanisms associated with justice need to be
studied further. This study hypothesises that perceived organisational support (POS)
mediates the relationship between organisational justice perceptions and affective
commitment of employees. The study was conducted in a multi-national organisation
operating in India in the service sector; the sample size was 71 employees. Baron and
Kenny's model of studying the mediating relationship was used. The findings showed that
POS fully mediates the relationship between distributive justice and affective commitment
as well as partially mediates the relationship between procedural justice and affective
commitment. This study highlights the importance of fairness and justice in organisations
and identifies the mechanism by which employee perceptions of justice influence their
loyalty and involvement. |
