Abstract Police personnel work in a highly structured organizational environment where fairness, evaluation, and interpersonal interactions play an important role in shaping their workplace behaviours. In police organizations, organizational justice has a significant positive effect on citizenship behaviour, indicating that fair treatment within the organization promotes respectful interaction, cooperation, and voluntary citizenship behaviours among police personnel (Abusamann et al., 2020). At the same time, fear of negative evaluation reflects individual’s concern about being judged unfavourably by others, which may reduce their willingness to take initiative in the workplace. The present study examines the impact of perceived organizational justice and fear of negative evaluation on organizational citizenship behaviour among police personnel. Using a correlational research design, data were collected from police personnel (N = 100) through the Organizational Justice Scale (developed by Niehoff and Moorman, 1993), the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale (developed by Leary, 1983), and the Organizational Citizenship Behaviour Scale (adapted to the Indian context by Kumar and Shah, 2015). Pearson correlation and regression analyses were conducted to examine the relationship and impact of perceived organizational justice and fear of negative evaluation on organizational citizenship behaviour. Correlation analysis revealed that organizational justice has a significant positive relationship with organizational citizenship behaviour , while fear of negative evaluation is significantly and negatively related to OCB. A non-significant negative correlation was also observed between OJ and FNE. Multiple regression analysis further indicated that the overall model significantly predicts organizational citizenship behaviour. Among the predictors, perceived organizational justice emerged as the only significant independent factor impacting OCB . Fear of negative evaluation did not show a significant independent impact on OCB when organizational justice was considered simultaneously. The study highlights that when police personnel perceive fairness in their organization, they are more likely to engage in positive and voluntary behaviours that benefit the organization.
