Abstract
The purpose of this study was to establish the relationship between organisational justice and employees’ performance in Pakwach district. It specifically sought to establish the relationship between distributive justice and employee performance in the Pakwach district, to determine the relationship between procedural justice and employee performance in the Pakwach district, and to examine the relationship between interactional justice and employee performance in the Pakwach district. This study was anchored on equity theory (Adams, 1965). Correlational design was used. The sample was selected using stratified random sampling and simple random sampling techniques. Data was collected using a self-administered questionnaire. The response rate was 85.6%. Computer-aided data analysis was performed using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software, version 22, for Windows. Descriptive statistics were generated, and correlation analysis was done. The study established a weak, positive, and statistically significant relationship between distributive justice and employee performance; a weak, positive, but statistically insignificant relationship between procedural justice and employee performance; and a moderately positive, statistically significant relationship between interactional justice and employee performance. The study concluded that organisational justice dimensions have a weak to moderate relationship with employee performance. Recommendations for further study are made herein.
