The purpose of this research endeavour was to analyse the effect of Organizational
Justice on Turnover Intention through Job Satisfaction specifically focusing on teacher
educators in public universities in the Punjab province of Pakistan. This study followed
ex post facto type of descriptive research design under positivistic paradigm. Census
was opted for data collection during this study. Data were collected using census
technique from all the teacher educators (305) of public universities in the Punjab
province of Pakistan. Adapting three previously established questionnaires, data about
Organizational Justice, Turnover Intention and Job Satisfaction were collected. A
multivariate analytical technique, Structural Equation Modelling (SEM), was used
through AMOS for establishing relationships between the variables and the data were
analysed through both descriptive and inferential statistics. The findings of the study
show that none of the three dimensions of Organizational Justice (Distributive,
Procedural and Interactive) leads to increase or decrease Turnover Intention among
teacher educators; however, these dimensions affect Job Satisfaction among teacher
educators. Moreover, Job Satisfaction has a mediating effect on the relationship
between Organizational Justice and Turnover Intention. This study concludes that
ensuring Organizational Justice leads to enhancing Job Satisfaction among teacher
educators which results into lowering Turnover Intention among them; thus allowing
better performance of the teacher education institutions. As far as theoretical
contribution of this study is concerned, it has comprehensively elaboration the concepts
of Organizational Justice, Turnover Intention and Job Satisfaction in the context of
higher education, especially teacher education in Pakistan. Census is scarcely applied
in this context for such empirical studies, and the developed conceptual framework is
also a theoretical contribution of this study. Practical implication of the study is guiding
the policy makers to ensure Job Satisfaction through Organizational Justice to minimize
Turnover Intention among employees. This study recommends future researches
involving private universities in the Punjab and other provinces of Pakistan.
