theory, empirical results indicate that career growth has significant positive impact
on employees’ job engagement through a mediating role of normative commitment.
Meanwhile, the two assumptions about the moderating role of organizational justice
are not supported, which are including that organizational justice plays a moderating
role between career growth and job engagement, and organizational justice adjusts
the mediating role of normative commitment between career growth and job en gagement. Empirical results indicate that organizational justice plays a moderating
role between normative commitment and job engagement. The research results show
that enterprises can satisfy employees’ career growth needs, such as economic, pow er, ability, social and emotional needs, thus achieving the goal of improving em ployee’s organization normative commitment level, and eventually achieving the goal
of employees work commitment.
