This study explores the connection between organisational justice and job satisfaction among educators in selected primary schools within the Limpopo Province. Using self-administered questionnaires, data were collected from 48 educators through the Organisational Justice Questionnaire (OJQ) and the Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire (MSQ). Correlation and regression analyses revealed a significant positive relationship between organisational justice and job satisfaction. Educators who perceive their schools as fair and just report higher satisfaction levels. The findings underscore the importance of promoting organisational justice to enhance educator well-being and inform strategies for creating supportive school environments. This research contributes to understanding how fairness in school management influences teacher morale and performance in South African primary schools.
