Abstract

The objective of this research work is to examine the association between performance appraisal justice and affective commitment of public sector universities employees in Pakistan. It further aims to explore the role of positive emotions as a mediator of the association between performance appraisal justice and affective commitment. This research uses survey method to collect data from 1,037 usable questionnaires. The results indicate significant positive impact of performance appraisal justice on affective commitment†. A positive and significant relationship between positive emotions and performance appraisal justice has also been witnessed. Furthermore, the positive emotions and affective commitment are also found to be positively and significantly correlated. After controlling the mediating variable, the performance appraisal justice became insignificant when role of positive emotions was considered. Hence, it is the confirmation that positive emotions mediate the relationship between performance appraisal justice and affective commitment.
