Abstract

Research background

Higher education faculty members who perceive fairness and equity can demonstrate citizenship behavior and they can develop feelings of belongingness and cohesiveness which will assist them to build intellectual assets and appreciate human capital. This study enhances the professional well-being of faculty members by enhancing their human capital, with a specific focus on the importance of their skills, knowledge, and abilities.

Purpose

The study aimed to assess the degree to which organizational commitment (OC) serves as a mediator in the relationship between organizational justice (OJ) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB).

Research methodology

The data analysis was conducted using path analysis, and the data processing was carried out using Smart PLS 3.0. This study employed quantitative methods and involved a sample of 470 faculty members from higher educational institutions (HEIs) in India, selected using a purposive sampling technique.

Results

The research results suggest that there exists a favorable correlation between OJ, OCB, and OC.

Novelty

The novelty of this research lies in its ambitious pursuit of creating an extensive knowledge repository, fostering a culture of research-oriented learning, and providing invaluable insights that will empower the future generation to propel the academic sector forward.
