Abstract
The main purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between organizational justice (distributive justice and procedural justice), job satisfaction and mediating trust among the teaching and non-teaching staff of public and private university of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The study was conducted on 550 employees in public and private universities. Based on a literature review of previous research, this study hypothesized that employees’ perceptions of organizational justice are positively associated with job satisfaction. In addition, this study indicates the effect of trust in relationship with organizational justice and job satisfaction. Based on a convenience sampling approach, a self-administered survey was used to obtain employees’ perceptions. The data analysis process of this study followed by four steps. First, the construct validity of each measurement model was examined by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Second, the descriptive statistics and correlations were reported. Third, a hierarchical multiple regression was tested to identify the impact of distributive justice and procedural justice on jobs satisfaction and mediating trust. Fourth individual T test was conducted for the comparison among public and private universities. The findings of this study were discussed in detail, comparing them with previous research. The primary theoretical implication of this study lies in investigating dimensions of organizational justice as the antecedents of job satisfaction. The limitations of this study and recommendations for future research were also discussed.
