Abstract
This study scrutinized the subject of organisational justice and the influence it has on staff retention. The major objective of this study is to determine the effect of organisational justice on staff retention and specifically non-academic staff in some selected private universities in Ogun State, Nigeria. This study made use of primary and secondary data; the primary data was obtained from the use of questionnaires while the secondary data was obtained from textbooks, journal articles, internet articles, organisations’ websites and library materials, both published and unpublished. This study was tested on 197 returned questionnaires out of a total of 250 questionnaires that were distributed to the non-academic staff of Covenant and Babcock Universities, Ogun State, Nigeria. This study tested four hypotheses which were drawn from the research objectives, through regression analysis. Findings revealed that, organisational justice (independent variable) which has three components: distributive justice, procedural justice and interactional justice has significant effect on retention (dependent variable) which includes: staff engagement and staff commitment. The study concluded that appraisal creates perceived injustice and, thus encourages studies in organisational effectiveness. Based on these findings, some recommendations were made: Covenant and Babcock Universities should endeavour to embrace participative management which is geared towards employee empowerment and develop processes or procedures that inspire unfiltered or unbiased feedback mechanism between the management and the non-academic staff. The study also presented areas for further research works.
