A sample size of 419 was drawn from the population of 8,118 Public Primary School Teachers and State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB) staff from six local government areas in Benue State. The hypotheses were tested using Covariance-based structural equation modeling (CB-SEM).The results from the study revealed that all three justice dimensions – procedural, interpersonal, and distributive justice – are significantly related to performance of Public Primary School Teachers in Benue State. Procedural justice is found to be having a stronger predictor of teachers’ performance. Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended amongst others that, public school management should be focused at strengthening and enhancing adequate interpersonal relationship with their subordinate and coworkers.
