Abstract

This study delved into the intricate relationship between perceptions of organizational justice and the prevalence of employee silence, with a focus on the unique context of the Winneba District High Court. The study employed a quantitative approach by using a sample size of 70 respondents. The data were analysed using multiple regressions. The findings of the study revealed a positive correlation between perceptions of fairness and decrease employee silence, indicating that a just organizational culture fosters open communication. Procedural justice is found to enhance trust among legal professionals, encouraging them to engage in respectful and transparent communication. Distributive justice promotes equitable access to legal resources and reduces feelings of injustice, contributing to an environment where employees feel valued and willing to share their concerns. Further, the dimensions of organizational justice significantly impact employee silinece. Based on the findings of the study, it can be concluded organizations that prioritize justice and fairness are more likely to create a positive work environment where employees feel valued, engaged, and motivated to share their concerns and feedback. Therefore, it can be recommended that prioritize fairness and justice in all aspects of organizational functioning, including decision-making, resource allocation, and interpersonal interactions.
