Abstract
This study aimed to examine the relationship between organizational justice (OJ), perceived supervisor support (PSS), and affective commitment (AC) among university teachers. 426 teachers from 5 universities of China were sampled to complete the measures. Structural equation modeling (SEM) and bootstrap analysis were employed to test the hypotheses. The results showed that university teachers’ perception of OJ positively predicted their AC; moreover, PSS partially mediated the relationship between OJ and AC among university teachers.Keywords
