ABSTRACT

The aim of this study is to analyze the impact of organizational justice on organizational performance.

Both organizational variables have close connections with organizational efficiency and effectiveness. The research was conducted with 15 employees who work at Bank of Agriculture Sokoto Branch. The findings of the research revealed that all the hypotheses tested have great positive influence on organizational performance. It is recommended that organizational justice should be carefully enshrined in various organizations and be backed up with careful monitoring.


CHAPTER ONE

INTRODUCTION

1.1     Background to the Study

Justice is a concept that has many dimensions which encompasses the range of questions, all from compensation that you get to behavior treatment with you by your superior. According to Moorman (1991); the function of fairness related to the place of work is referred to as organizational justice (OJ); it includes the ways that decide the fair treatment with employees during performing their jobs and as a result this influence employee’s behavior at work. As mentioned by Greenberg (1990), organizational justice (OJ) is linked with the perceptions of staff related to the fairness of work. Actually, he put into use this expression to give explanation and to examine the part that fairness played in place of work. Unfairness or biasness is the base that leads the organization to troubles and offenses. According to another description, it is the structure which affects the work attitudes of employees towards division of labor, wages, rewards and recreation conditions along with determining the quality of social interaction Dinç and Ceylan, (2008).

Likewise, Matin et al, (2010). describes the types of justice as follows: Distributive justice is the type of organizational justice that put emphasis on the perceptions of the people that the amount they received fairly related to the outcomes of the value added work and Procedural justice is referred to as people’s beliefs of the fairness of the procedures that decide the outcomes they have, unfair procedures lead to the rejection of entire system. According to Williams et al, and Moorman (2002) interactional justice is a significant part of procedural justice because it has been found that when managers take actions within their organization, if procedural justice exists the mode of performing and giving explanations about their decisions plays an important part in determining it.

 Justice is one of the most important factor influencing satisfactions of the personal of an organization so that perceiving injustice will result in the personnel dissatisfaction which leave negative influence on their performance. Organizational justice (OJ) is used to illustrate the function of fairness as it has direct effect on employee’s performance, particularly organizational justice is deal with the situation when employees conclude about their treatment in their jobs and how this perception effect their work related performance Moorman, (2009). Furthermore, empirical evidences demonstrated that it has positive effect on the performance and efficacy of organizations. Besides, Wei (2010) also mentioned that organizational justice (OJ) has a significantly positive effect on the organizational performance (OJ) of small- and medium enterprises (SMEs).

In spite of the above mention significances or relations between organizational justice (OJ) and organizational performance (OP), organizational justice (OJ) continue to face some setbacks which have become bane to; it doesn’t actualization/incentive for employees’ especially competent personnel. Unjustifiable or improper promotion or under-placement of personals in most public organizations. Lack of impersonal relation between employers and employees. Lack of corporate social responsibility especially among most private organizations and the host communities. Also conflicting objective advocated by labour/trade unions are among the factors apparently militating against organizational justice (OJ) in most public or private organizations and will also shrink organizational performance.

This research therefore, is very timely in the sense that it will rigorously and systematically looks at the identified problems, provide useful recommendations (solutions) to the identified problems.

1.2     Statement of the Research Problem

This project work intends to look at some of the problems that could mitigate against the emergence organizational justice (OJ) which will shrink organizations performances (OP). Some of the problems that trigger the research are; lacks of equitable compensation/incentive which implies organizations that lack the ability to pay wages and salaries regularly are in danger of disintegration, poor wages are a constant source of frustration and can result in decline in performances. Secondly, improper placement of personals in most public organizations this can be as a result of gender discrimination, ethnicity, state-ism, improper recruitment, mutual conspiracy, corruptions, nepotism etc. this all can result to low organizational performance. Impersonal relation between employers and employees, in this sense lacking human relation, ethical behavior, cooperation, trust acts as an impediment to employers performances.

ii.                 What is the effect of improper promotion or under placement on organizational performance (OP)?
