Abstract :

The significance of perception of equity continues to progress and develop, and the function of justice in a variety of outcomes is being investigated by researchers. The aim of the present study was to investigate the relationship between perceptions of equity and job satisfaction among university faculty of Karachi, Pakistan. A number of 80 faculties (47 males & 33 females) of different private business universities were used as a sample of the study. Procedural Justice Scale (PJC; Greenberg, 1986); Distributive Justice Index (DJI; Price and Mueller, 1986); and Job satisfaction Survey (JSS; Spector, 1994) were used. In order to interpret the results Pearson Product Moment Correlation and t-test were applied. The findings of the study supports that procedural justice was positively correlated whereas distributive justice depicts weak correlation with job satisfaction. However, gender difference was found in perceptions of procedural and distributive justice among faculty.
