The relationship between organisational citizenship behaviour and the perceptions of organisational justice in a TVET college

Abstract

Organisational justice has created an interest amongst scholars in the contemporary world since it is closely associated with the perceptions of individuals regarding the existence of fairness within organisational settings. The primary objective of this study is to examine and explore the relationship between organisational justice and organisational citizenship behaviour in a selected TVET college in Gauteng. Organisational justice has an impact on organisations when employees perceive unfair treatment in the workplace resulting in negative emotion and behaviour. Unfair treatment or injustices not only diminish job performances but also decrease the quality of workmanship and degree of cooperation among workers. In light of this, this study attempted to contribute to the literature by investigating the link between organisational justice and organisational citizenship behaviour among academic staff in a TVET college. The study employed a questionnaire for data collection. Thirty lecturers, out of a total of 65, took part in the study. Pearson Correlation Coefficient was used for data analysis. The results show that there is significantly no relationship between organisational justice and organisational citizenship behaviour. The researcher, therefore, recommends possible ways to amend the situation.
