Procedural Justice and Employees’ Commitment in Selected Hospitals in Rivers State

Abstract:

Justice perception can influence employees' attitudes and behaviors for good or bad, and in turn, have a positive or negative impact on the employees' performance and the organization's success. The purpose of this study was to identify the roles of procedural justice toward employee commitment. It also examined the relationship between procedural justice and employee commitment. A convenience sampling was used on the sample size of 200 studied. The results of correlation analysis show that there is a significant positive relationship between procedural justice and employee commitment. The study concludes that employees who perceive unfairness in the workplace may exhibit varying degrees of malicious behaviors. This study provides guidelines for organization management and better ways to reduce employee turnover.
