Employee behavior in the workplace is influenced not only by relatively stable personal traits and environmental conditions but also by how employees perceive the functioning of their organization and its internal processes. These perceptions are subjective and encompass various factors, with a fundamental emphasis on fairness. Research indicates that a sense of fairness is a crucial factor shaping organizational attitudes and directly impacts employee performance. Given that employees’ views on the organization's pay policies often form the basis of their overall evaluation of the organization, it is valuable to analyze these perceptions across different dimensions. By exploring specific elements of fairness, it becomes possible to predict how employees might respond to increased work demands and their willingness to remain with the organization. This study aims to demonstrate that a sense of fairness serves as a key motivator for positive employee attitudes and behaviors that lead to stronger organizational commitment. Data gathered from full-time employed extramural college students revealed a statistically significant positive relationship between perceptions of pay fairness and employee commitment.
