The study examined the effect of distributive justice on deviant behaviour, and the moderating role of individual spirituality among university academics at Taraba State University. Relevant literatures on distributive justice, deviant behaviour and spirituality were reviewed under conceptual, theoretical, and empirical review. The study was anchored on social exchange theory and person organisational fit theory. A descriptive survey research design method was used. The target population for the study is 586 academics at Taraba State University. The sample size was 226. The study employed a purposive sampling technique. The structural questionnaire was used to source data from the respondents. The researcher distributed 300 questionnaires, but only 190 copies were retrieved, and used for the analysis. Structural equation modeling specifically Partial least squares (PLS) software version 4 was used to test the hypotheses formulated. The findings of the study revealed that distributive justice has a negative and significant effect on the deviant behaviour of academics at Taraba State University. Individual spirituality does not moderate the relationship between distributive justice and deviant behaviour. The study recommends that the government and management of the university should ensure that academics’ salaries, benefits, allowances, and promotions are given to them at the right time to reduce deviant behaviour.
