This study investigated the impact of organizational justice and job security on organizational commitment through the mediating effect of trust in top management. Drawing on the social exchange theory, this study developed and investigated a conceptual model and hypotheses. To test the proposed study model and hypotheses, empirical data was collected from 337 Korean employees working in 6 large firms and analyzed with Structural Equation Modeling. The results suggested that both organizational justice and long-term job security affected trust in top management and organizational commitment significantly. All hypotheses were supported; however, the mediating effect was not so strong enough to link two predictors with organizational commitment. The result implied that organizations should take care of employees' personal and social needs in order to increase their trust and commitment toward the organization. Especially, social needs such as organizational justice should be maintained, as well as personal and economic needs of employees such as job security in terms of Maslow's needs hierarchy theory.
