INFLUENCE OF ORGANISATIONAL JUSTICE ON PERCEIVED ORGANISATIONAL SUPPORT: A Study of Teachers in Higher Education Institutions in Uttarakhand.

Purpose: The study seeks to examine the influence of organisational justice on perceived organisational support among teachers in higher education institutions in the state of Uttarakhand. Methodology: The data was collected through a structured questionnaire, personal meetings, and Google Forms. A total of 400 faculty members participated in the study. The data was analysed with the help of Smart-PLS4. Findings: The study has revealed that all the three dimensions (distributive, procedural, and interactional) of organisational justice have a positive and significant influence on perceived organisational support. Research Limitations: We examined the effect of organisational justice only, and not the supervisor's support and job conditions, on the perceived organisational support of higher education teachers in the state of Uttarakhand. Policy Implications: The conclusions of the study are expected to help the management evolve new policies to develop the employees' positive attitudes towards the job by providing justice and support to their teachers. Originality/Value: Education has been one of the most critical parameters of development and is affected by the teachers' perception of organisational justice and support. So, it is essential to determine organisational justice's influence on the perceived organisational support. Several studies have been conducted on the impact of organisational justice on perceived organisational support in business firms, but no such study appears to have been conducted among the teachers of higher education institutions in the state of Uttarakhand.
