Abstract
The study investigated the moderating role of
gender on the correlation existing between teachers perceived organizational justice
and teachers’ job performance in Secondary Schools in South East, Nigeria. Two
research questions guided the study and two null hypotheses were tested at 0.05
level of significance. The study adopted correlational survey research design.
The population of the study is comprised of all the 29,231 teachers in public
secondary schools in South Eastern Nigeria. Out of the population, a sample of
1,462 teachers was drawn by cluster sampling using proportionate stratified
random sampling technique. The data for the study were collected using two
different questionnaires developed by the researchers. The questionnaires
include: Teachers’ Perceived Organizational Justice Questionnaire (TPOJQ) and
Teachers’ Job Performance Questionnaire (TJPQ). The instruments were validated
by three experts from faculty of education, Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Awka.
Cronbach Alpha method of reliability was used to determine the reliability of
the instruments which yielded reliability coefficient of .92 and .76
respectively. The reliability indices were considered high enough thus, the
instruments were deemed reliable. Data collection was done by the researchers
with the help of seven research assistants. Pearson Product Moment Correlation
Coefficience was used to answer the research questions and the test of null
hypothesis with P. value being used to take decision on the null hypotheses at
0.05 level of significance. The results show that there is a very high positive
correlation existing between male teachers perceived organizational justice and
their job performance in secondary schools in South-East, Nigeria. Also, there
is a significant correlation between male teachers perceived organizational
justice and their job performance in secondary schools in South-East, Nigeria. It
was also shown that there is a significant correlation existing between female teachers
perceived organizational justice and their job performance in secondary schools
in South-East, Nigeria among others. At the end it was recommended that the
management of secondary schools and authorities of post primary school services
in the five south eastern states of Nigeria, should sustain the organisational
fairness and just ways of treating their teachers in order for them to continue
performing their job well irrespective of their gender since the study found
that gender does not moderate the correlation existing between teachers’
perceived organisational justice and their job performance. Implication of the findings
of the study was stated at the end.
