Abstract: The study analyses the effects of the organisational justice perception in the commitment and in the job satisfaction of professors. A survey was conducted with a sample of 317 university professors and the data analysis was performed through the structural equation modelling. The survey results indicate that the three dimensions of organisational justice influence the job satisfaction, being the procedural justice the biggest predictor, whereas the distributive justice had the lowest effect. The interactional justice was the biggest predictor of the affective commitment. The job satisfaction influences the affective and normative commitment and mediates the relationship of the distributive and procedural justice with the affective commitment, besides mediating the relationship of the procedural and interactional justice with the normative commitment.

Keywords: organisational justice; organisational commitment; job satisfaction.
