Employee behavior in organizations is shaped by a variety of personal, environmental, and organizational factors. A key element that drives these behaviors is the perception of fairness in the workplace, particularly regarding how the organization’s processes are managed. Fairness is a subjective but critical aspect that influences employee attitudes and significantly impacts their productivity. Existing research highlights the central role of fairness in fostering positive organizational outcomes. This paper focuses on how employees’ perceptions of pay fairness—ranging from communication and understanding to overall satisfaction— influence their level of commitment and willingness to engage with the organization. Through a study of extramural college students in full-time employment, the findings demonstrate a strong, statistically significant relationship between perceived pay fairness and increased organizational commitment.
