organizational justice, organizational trust and employee engagement in
bank employees. It was hypothesized: there is likely to be a relationship
among perceived organizational justice, organizational trust and employee
engagement; Perceived organizational justice and organizational trust are
likely to predict employee engagement. There is likely to be an effect of
bank type and designation on perceived organizational justice,
organizational trust and employee engagement. The sample consisted of
(N = 150) bank employees (n = 50 for government, n = 50 for private and
n = 50 for privatized banks) selected from different banks in Lahore.

Organizational Justices Questionnaire by Niehoff and Moorman’s (1993),
Organizational Trust Questionnaire by Paliszkiewicz (2010) and Employee
Engagement Scale by Saks (2006) were used in this research. Pearson

analysis of covariance were applied. Results showed a positive significant
