THE EFFECT OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE ON EMPLOYEE JOB SATISFACTION
Abstract
Job satisfaction and organizational justice are critical aspects of the HRM function of every organization that need diligent consideration if employees are to go over and beyond in the discharge of their duties to ensure continuous organizational effectiveness. Although job satisfaction is a very complex and multifaceted concept that is influenced by a wide range of variables that are related to individual, social, cultural, organizational and environmental factors. This study using the three-factor model of organizational justice seeks to ascertain the effect of organizational justice on job satisfaction in a manufacturing company in the Lekki Free Trade Zone (LFTZ) area of Lagos, Nigeria. The convenience sampling method was adopted to gather data using a Likert scale-based questionnaire, sent to 40 staffs of the organization out of a population of 258 employees. The response rate was 60% and the data was analyzed using SmartPLS 3.3. The study findings revealed that distributive justice had the greatest impact on job satisfaction while procedural justice had a moderate effect and interactional justice had the least effect; this provides an insight to the management of the organisation and others within and outside the LFTZ area on the way to go to improve employee job satisfaction.
