Summary
This research explores how organizational justice serves as a vital foundation for fostering employee engagement and job satisfaction through the development of affective commitment. By analyzing a study of service-sector workers in India alongside established theories like equity and social exchange, the research argues that fairness must be an operational discipline rather than a mere marketing campaign. To build a truly committed workforce, leaders are encouraged to implement explainable resource allocation, visible routes for employee voice, and respectful management practices. Real-world examples from organizations like Salesforce and the NHS illustrate that sustainable success requires accountable decision-making and the protection of worker autonomy. Ultimately, the research emphasizes that while perceived fairness emotionally attaches employees to their roles, it should be treated as a standard of dignity regardless of its financial impact.
