Is Organizational Justice Relevant for Enhancing Employee’s Commitment: An Empirical Analysis using Perceiver Supervisor Support as a Mediator

Based on social exchange theory and organizational support theory, this study explores the relationship between four dimensions of organizational justice (OJ) and affective commitment (CMM) and whether perceived supervisor support (PSS) mediates this relationship. Using online survey data collected from employees recruited from India industry verticals, the authors identified the role of distributive and informational justice in directly enhancing employees’ CMM. PSS also mediates the relationship between all four forms of OJ and CMM. An importance–performance map analysis (IPMA) indicates that informational organizational justice (IFJ) is the most important factor for predicting employees’ CCM. This is a pioneering study because it includes four dimensions of organizational justice as a precursor for CMM in a non-Western context.
