ABSTRACT
The influence of perceived organizational justice dimensions (distributive, procedural, and interactional justice) on extra-role performance in the context of foreign-owned firms in Nigeria was examined in this study. The specific objectives of the study were to examine the influence of distributive, procedural and interactional justice on voice extra-role behavioural performance on one hand and help extra-role behavioural performance on the other hand among employees working in foreign-owned manufacturing firms in Nigeria.
To achieve the objectives of the study, cross-sectional survey research design was adopted by surveying 320 out of 367 sampled employees in five selected foreign-owned manufacturing firms (7 Up Bottling Company Plc, PZ Cussons Nigeria Plc, Cadbury Nigeria Plc, Guinness Plc, and Lafarge Africa Plc) in Lagos, Nigeria at a point in time using questionnaire subjected to reliability test. The data collected from 320 employees surveyed were analysed using descriptive statistics and the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method.
The main findings from analyses are organizational justice and each of its dimensions (distributive, procedural and interactional justice) has a positive significant influence on both voice and help extra-role performance in the foreign-owned firms in Nigeria. In the light of these findings, the study recommended that the management of foreign-owned firms operating in Nigeria should increase and sustain efforts in rewarding employees according to their workload, work completed, work contributed, relevant skills, and education acquired. Moreover, they should increase effort in promoting policies or procedures where employees can be promoted on time. Also, the management of foreign-owned firms operating in Nigeriashould constantly provide employees with detailed, accurate, timely, and adequate information to perform a job in addition to ensuring dignity and respect in treating them.
