The current study explores the effect of LMX and DJ on employees' affective commitment. Significant research has been conducted on the relationship between distributive justice and workplace outcomes. However, limited research has delved into potential moderators of this relationship, specifically in the context of the telecom sector of Pakistan. This study fills this gap by investigating how LMX might influence the relationship between distributive justice and affective commitment as a moderator. Two hundred fifty employed individuals from the telecom sector of Sahiwal, Pakistan, participated in this survey. Data was analyzed using SPSS-24. The results from the analysis supported the study's hypotheses. The results regarding the direct relationship between DJ and AC are in line with existing literature. Additionally, LMX significantly moderated the relationship between the independent and dependent variables. Based on these findings, theoretical and practical implications are proposed. Limitations and future research directions are also discussed.
