Organizational Justice and Employees’ Performance in Money Deposit Banks in South-East Nigeria

Abstract

This study assessed the impact of organizational justice on employees’ performance in Money Deposit Banks in South-East Nigeria. Using a descriptive research design, we adopted both descriptive and inferential statistics to answer the three research questions and test the hypotheses. Primary data was generated from a sample of 384 respondents selected using multiple sampling techniques from five major deposit money banks in Nigeria, namely, United Bank of Africa, First Bank, Zenith Bank, Guaranty Trust Bank and Access Bank. Results from both the Likert scale and the estimation of a logistic model to determine the influence of fair policy, appropriate reward system, and nature of the interpersonal relationship on employee performance proxied with employees’ participation, morale and retention, show that a strong positive relationship exists between organizational justices and employee performance in DMBs. The study concluded that any improvement in organizational justice will definitely enhance employee performance in DMBs in Southeast.
