    Highly committed workers are prerequisite resource for a successful organization. Empirical evidences have shown the impact of distributive justice, interactional justice and procedural justice among the determinants fostering workers' commitment. Grounded in social exchange theory, this study examines the influence of distributive justice, interactional justice and procedural justice on employee's organizational commitment among senior members of non-academic staff in the Nigerian universities. The study applied partial least square structural equation models (PLS-SEM) to analyze data obtained from 201 non-academic staff. The results show that among the hypothesized relationships of the study variables there is significant positive relationship between distributive justices (3-0.1945; t =2.33; p = 0.01), (3= 0.3664; t=3.82; p = 0.00), (= 0.365; t = 4.297; p = 0.00) on the three dimension of commitment. Additionally, positive relationship exists between interactional justice (B=0.287; t =3.54; p = 0.00), (= 0.269; t = 2.97; p = 0.001), (ß = 0.142; t = 1.61; p = 0.054) on the three dimension of commitment. On the contrary, the relationship between procedural justice (3 = 0.0225; t = 0.289; p = 0.386) and continuance commitment is not supported. This paper contributes to the existing human resources literature on employees' commitment and guides university management on how to improved employees' commitment. The paper recommends that universities should consider as relevant factor aspects of organizational justice in an effort to enhance workers commitment.
