Abstract
Distributive justice posits that employee satisfaction is influenced by the fairness of outcomes, including equitable access to resources, rewards, and, where necessary, punishments. However, distributive injustices remain prevalent in Nigerian universities. This study examines the relationship between distributive justice and both task and contextual performance among academic staff in universities located in Northeast Nigeria. A cross-sectional survey design was employed, utilizing proportionate stratified random sampling and simple random sampling techniques to select respondents. Data collected through the study's questionnaire were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to test the hypotheses. The findings reveal a significant positive relationship between distributive justice and employee performance, including both task and contextual dimensions. The study concludes that implementing distributive justice can serve as an effective strategy for enhancing employee performance. It recommends further research to validate these findings and contribute to the growing body of literature on this topic. Keywords: Distributive Justice, Employee Performance And Academic Staff
