Abstract
Although the associations between organizational justice and various work outcomes are well established in western literature, very few studies have examined the relationship of justice perceptions with work attitude and work behaviour in the Indian setting, especially in the aviation industry. This study explored the relationship and examined the influence of Organisational justice between organizational justice and job satisfaction among employees working in an airline company within the Indian setting. Organizational justice scale that was developed by Niehoff and Moorman (1993) and Fernand and Awamleh’s Job satisfaction Scale , ( 2006), scalewere used to collect data. The target population of this study were employees from an airline company in Mumbai metropolitan city. The data was analysed using SPSS. The findings revealed a positive association between organizational justice and job satisfaction and further endorsed the fact that organizational justice can be an antecedent to job satisfaction. Further the results also suggestd that distributive and interactional justice were more positively related to job satisfaction as compared to procedural justice.The results lend support to the notion that one can predict job satisfaction by investigating perceptions of organizational justice.
