The study used the questionnaire survey research design methods. The population of this research consists of employees working in the banking industry in Edo state. Using a sample size of 200, data were collected using the questionnaire and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Descriptive statistics were carried out using percentages while regression analyses were used as the inferential methods. The research findings show that there is a significant relationship between the organizational justice (procedural justice and distributive justice), organizational commitment and intention to leave.
