The article discusses salient factors related to fostering effective and wholesome learning experiences. These factors, based on the reflective insights of the authors, are discussed with the intent of encouraging further discussion and exploration that may contribute to even more effective and more wholesome learning experiences. In addition, these insights are shared with the intent of assisting new or emerging educators/trainers in facilitating effective and wholesome learning experiences.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to describe and explain the relationship between organizational justice, as an environment and as a buffer and suppressant for influencing cynicism about organizational change (CAOC), thereby influencing change-supportive behavior (CSB) and its impact on higher education performance (OP). The social cognitive theory was applied to test the moderating role of perceived organizational justice in the relationship between CAOC, CSB, and OP.
Design/methodology/approach
The research found support for the proposed model using data collected from 91 faculties at 10 autonomous higher education institutions in Indonesia and a multisource research design with a non-academic staff sample.
Findings
This finding confirms that distributive and interactional justice only influences organizational performance when perceived as moderate or high. The moderated mediation analysis findings were supported by the moderating variable of procedural justice but were supported by the moderating variables of distributive and interactional justice.
Originality/value
As a determinant of CAOC on non-academic staff in Indonesia, a country with a high-power distance, cynicism towards change is difficult to detect due to the prevalence of silent cynicism.
