Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of procedural justice on employee turnover intention under the moderating role of Islamic work ethics and trust in leader. To test the hypothesized relationships, questionnaires were administered among 448 government employees working in the service sector in Pakistan. Findings revealed that procedural justice negatively affects employee turnover intention. Moreover, Islamic work ethics and trust in leader reduce the negative impact of lack of procedural justice on employee turnover intention. Procedural justice is of pivotal importance as it aids in clarifying the rules and policies and the current study strives to contribute to literature by highlighting its importance. Moreover, data for the study were collected from public sector thereby emphasizing the importance of government policies and procedures. The current study posits that managers should use clear and transparent procedures for the benefit of the organization. In addition, it also proposes that Islamic work ethics and trust in leader can aid to reduce employee turnover intention.
