Organizational commitment is an imperative aspect of occupational attitudes as it signals employees’ willingness to stay with their organization and effectively achieve collective goals. Although recent studies have assessed factors influencing police officers’ organizational commitment, very little is known about the antecedents of police commitment in African countries. Based on a survey of Nigerian police officers, the study assesses the linkage between organizational justice and organizational commitment directly and indirectly through organizational trust and job satisfaction. Structural equation modeling (SEM) indicates that the relationship between organizational justice and organizational commitment is principally indirect through the mediating mechanisms of supervisory trustworthiness and job satisfaction. Officers who express greater organizational justice report higher trust in their management and supervisors and, subsequently, stronger job satisfaction, leading to higher organizational commitment. Implications for future research and policy are discussed.

组织承诺是职业态度的一个重要方面，因为它表明员工愿意留在组织中并有效地实现集体目标。尽管最近的研究评估了影响警察组织承诺的因素，但对非洲国家警察承诺的前因知之甚少。该研究基于对尼日利亚警察的调查，通过组织信任和工作满意度直接或间接评估了组织公正与组织承诺之间的联系。结构方程模型（SEM）表明，组织公正与组织承诺之间的关系主要是通过监管可信度和工作满意度的中介机制间接实现的。表现出更高组织公正性的官员表示对其管理层和主管的信任度更高，因此工作满意度更高，从而导致更高的组织承诺。讨论了对未来研究和政策的影响。
