The Mediating Role of Motivation on the Relationship between Procedural Justice, Affective Commitment and Turnover Intention

Abstract

This is a quantitative study exploring how procedural justice relates to affective commitment and turnover intention, and whether the proposed relationships are mediated by employee´s motivation. The study distinguishes between intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and improves the understanding of extrinsic motivation by looking at coercive controls in addition to monetary rewards. The findings support our hypotheses, demonstrating that procedural justice has a significant relationship with affective commitment and turnover intention. Moreover, the study reveals that both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation play a mediating role in these relationships. The implications and limitations of the study are discussed, along with suggestions for future research directions.
