Perceived organisational injustices and academic staff turnover intentions in Ghanaian technical universities

The main purpose of the study was to explore perceived organisational injustice among academic staff and its implication on turnover intentions in technical universities in Ghana. A multi-case study research strategy involving four technical universities. The purposive sampling approach was used to collect data from 45 participants serving in various capacities in the four technical universities. The study found procedural, distributive, and interactional injustice in the four technical universities. Specifically, these forms of organisational injustice were associated with managerial and leadership styles, lack of transparency in decision-making, allocation of unmerited opportunities, nepotism, and favouritism. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and university administrators to consider when implementing reforms and policies aimed at enhancing fairness and equity within education management. The findings have multifaceted policy implications for the government and management of universities in Ghana.

Abstract

The main purpose of the study was to explore perceived organisational injustice among academic staff and its implication on turnover intentions in technical universities in Ghana. A multi-case study research strategy involving four technical universities. The purposive sampling approach was used to collect data from 45 participants serving in various capacities in the four technical universities. The study found procedural, distributive, and interactional injustice in the four technical universities. Specifically, these forms of organisational injustice were associated with managerial and leadership styles, lack of transparency in decision-making, allocation of unmerited opportunities, nepotism, and favouritism. The study provides valuable insights for policymakers and university administrators to consider when implementing reforms and policies aimed at enhancing fairness and equity within education management. The findings have multifaceted policy implications for the government and management of universities in Ghana.
