COMPARATIVE STUDY OF JUSTICE IN ORGANIZATION AND ITS IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE COMMITMENT

Abstract

The intention of this study was to observe the position/occurrence and effect of justice on
employees' commitment in three different areas namely multinational, local private and
government organizations. The study found the impacts of distributive, procedural,
informational and interpersonal type of justice on commitment. Further the paper
compared the results and tried to explain the reasons for variations.
Pretested questionnaire, based on five likert scale, was distributed by stratified random
sampling technique. Interviews were arranged especially for qualitative and
exploratory part of the paper. Mean value, correlation, Alpha, Beta, R, R-Squire,
ANOVAand T-test results which found through SPSS.
In multinational organizations reasonable justice and commitment was observed while
the results were inverse in local private organizations. In government sector justice was
not perceived but a questionable commitment was detected. In multinational and local
private organizations the study found the impact of justice on commitment but in
government sector the study explored the reasons for no relation between justice and
commitment. Organizational commitment was found more sensitive to procedural
justice.
Multinational organizations are valued more than local private organization in
Pakistan. Some of the government organizations are going downward even with good
resources. This study showed the backside of the picture by providing reasons.
Sample size was small. In government sector some factors were exposed which were
disturbing the relation of justice and commitment. More exploratory work is required in
this area.
The study suggests that the owners and managers of organizations should provide
exemplary justice which will enhance commitment and will clear the road to the peak.
