Human resource is a back bone of every organization, without employee no work can be done. So employee’s satisfaction is very important in all terms. Employees will be more satisfied if they get what they expected. When employees are treated fairly overall in the organization, they feel need of reciprocal response to the organization in positive behaviors. Organizational justice and psychological contracts are important factors that influence the satisfactions of the personal in an organization. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship among organizational justice (Procedural, Distributional and Interactional), psychological contract and job satisfaction. This paper examines the effect of Job satisfaction on Organizational justice and explains the concept of psychological contract and presents the result of a survey of managers and officers from the paints industry of Pakistan.
