What is Organisational Justice

Handbook of Research on Organizational Justice and Culture in Higher Education Institutions
Organizational justice generally refers to perceptions of fairness in treatment of individuals internal to that organization. It is a key factor associated with organizational success, and refers to people’s perception of fairness (or equity) in organizations, consisting of perceptions of how decisions are made regarding the distribution of outcomes (procedural justice) and the perceived fairness of the distribution of those outcomes themselves (distributive justice). According to Greenberg (1996) , organizational justice refers to individuals’ perception of fairness in the organization.

Abstract
Organisational justice improves overall organisational effectiveness, prudency, efficacy and efficiency. Previous studies examined the relationship between organisational justice and job satisfaction in manufacturing companies. This study therefore x-rayed the quality control and standards of organisational justice in Nigerian higher education: the roles and interplay of various agencies. To do this, efforts were made to examine the concept, types and models of organisational justice. A brief history of higher education in Nigeria was discussed as well as the principles of organisational justice within the context of education, empirical studies on the link among organisational justice, job satisfaction, organisational commitment and turnover intention were reviewed and the roles of various agencies in ensuring quality and standards of organisational justice in Nigerian higher education. It was therefore recommended that there should be regular and periodic workshops, conferences, seminars and symposium for the heads of the various institutions of higher learning with a view to gearing them on the relevance of organisational justice in the effective management and administration of higher educational institutions.
