The purpose of this study is to explore organizational justice outcomes in telecom sector of Pakistan. The tested model proposes a path through job satisfaction to improve organizational commitment among firms in the competitive industry. Data was collected from 120 telecom employees in three companies. Results from regression analysis show job satisfaction to explain attitudinal response to procedural justice. Mediation effects were not supported for absenteeism. Strict controlling measures in the private sector and fear of job loss do not enable employees in the sector to respond by being absent, despite being dissatisfied. No moderation was seen for procedural justice effects on job satisfaction. Overall implications for telecom sector managers are also discussed.
