Abstract: While newer, advanced behavioural models have been designed to understand employees' behaviours in the organisation, plausible research exists about evolving direct and indirect relationships of various constituents in explaining this phenomenon, more specifically in the context of contract manufacturing organisations. Therefore, this study aims to examine the role of organisational justice in inducing job embeddedness among contract manufacturing employees and whether career satisfaction mediates these effects. A total of 285 employees from contract manufacturing organisations participated in this study. Results show that the higher the organisational justice, the more likely they are embedded with their job. Results are discussed in terms of evolutionary findings of the importance of organisational justice in the job embeddedness and career satisfaction realm. The findings are of great importance to organisational behaviour scholars, human resource experts, and workplace policy regulators.

Keywords: organisational justice; distributive justice; procedural justice; interactional justice; job embeddedness; career satisfaction; organisational behaviour.
