Every individual deserves equal opportunity to access basic amenities like food, safe drinking water, education, clothing, shelter besides other opportunities. But inequality exists in different forms and social justice is aimed at ensuring that every human being receives their basic right. Social Justice commitment is the willingness of a person to engage in social justice activities. It can be enhanced if the predicting factors can be determined. The role of Peer influence, Spiritual intelligence, Emotional intelligence and Resilience on Social Justice Commitment is examined in this review article. These factors were found to have positive influence on how a person reach out to others who are in need, how they faced challenges while promoting prosocial behaviour and over all well-being of a person. The direct influence of the predictors reviewed on Social Justice Commitment is not well explored. Hence, directs to further research and exploration of Social Justice Commitment.
