Description The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship and to test the interaction effects of organizational justice (distributive, procedural, and interactional) and the dimensions of LMX (affect, contribution, professional respect, and loyalty) on organizational commitment. Three broadly hypothesized relationships were tested in a field study among auditors serving in audit firms across Malaysia, who were registered with the Malaysian Institute of Accountants (MIA). Based on the data from the survey, the results from the hierarchical regression provided moderate support for the hypotheses. The findings on direct effects revealed that predictor variables have a positive relationship with affective-normative commitment and only partial support for continuance commitment. Distributive, procedural and interactional perceptions of organizational justice, reciprocity, and contribution of LMX were found to be positively related to affective-normative commitment. Continuance commitment was significantly predicted by the contribution of LMX. The results provide partial support for the interaction effects of affective-normative and continuance commitment. One implication of the study’s findings is that human resources departments have to take a serious view of organizational justice and LMX when implementing human resource policies in order to encourage employees to manifest high levels of commitment.
