Investigating the relationship between various dimensions of organizational justice and psychological contract breach among clinical nurses: a cross-sectional study

BackgroundAlthough psychological contract breach is linked to various significant organizational consequences, few studies have explored the antecedents of this important concept within the nursing field. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between perceived organizational justice and psychological contract breach among clinical nurses.MethodsThis descriptive cross-sectional study included 328 inpatient ward nurses from six teaching hospitals in Tehran, Iran. Clinical nurses were selected through multistage random sampling. Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire, the Niehoff and Moorman (1993) Organizational Justice Questionnaire, and the Robinson and Morrison (2000) Psychological Contract Breach Questionnaire.Data analysis was performed in SPSS version 21 using descriptive statistics, Pearson’s correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis.ResultsThe findings revealed that procedural justice (P < 0.001; β=-0.20) and interactional justice (P < 0.001; β=-0.47) explained 41% of the variance in psychological contract breach among nursing staff.ConclusionsThe results identified interactional and procedural justice as the most significant dimensions of organizational justice in explaining nurses’ perceived psychological contract breach. Therefore, healthcare managers should prioritize fair decision-making processes and interactions with nurses to mitigate ' perceived the psychological contract breach.

El trinomio compromiso, satisfacción y justicia organizacional en el binomio felicidad e intención de rotar

the aim of this study was to empirically analyze the relationships between the dimensions of organizational justice, job satisfaction, andorganizational commitment with work happiness and turnover intention among academic workers in Mexico. To this end, a sample of 393 higher education faculty members in Mexico was surveyed. The statistical technique of structural equation modeling (CB-SEM) was used to analyze the data. The study’s results show that, on the one hand, the variables of job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and organizational justice areinterrelated among these workers, and on the other hand, that these variables positively explain work happiness and negatively explain turnover intention. This information is relevant for university leaders to undertake a strategic direction oriented towards Happiness Management. This way, their human capital can perform their professional activities in an environment of positive emotions, creativity, joy, and subjective well-being.

Relative Values: A Stakeholder Systems Approach to Aligning Business Logics and Social Logics in Hybrid Organisations

This article focuses on the challenge of aligning two potentially opposing institutional logics in hybrid organisations; and addresses the debate as to whether hybrids are increasingly dominated by business logics to the detriment of their social mission. Findings indicate that existing approaches lack a systemic framework that identifies where mission related tensions lie, and we show how these can be ameliorated by application of the stakeholder systems model. The model utilises dimensions of organisational justice to assess the level of equity stakeholders experience in their dealings with the focal organisation and how due recognition of these can limit mission drift.

Analyzing the impact of organizational justice on seafarers’ commitment: job satisfaction as a key mediator

ABSTRACT The shipping industry is facing a shortage of seafarers and a high turnover rate which highlights the critical importance of seafarers’ job satisfaction and commitment. This study investigates the intricate relationships among organisational justice, job satisfaction, and organisational commitment among seafarers working in international merchant vessels. This study specifically examines the impact of organisational justice, which encompasses distributive justice (DJ), procedural justice (PJ), and interactional justice (IJ), on organisational commitment with the mediating role of job satisfaction of international seafarers. Utilising a unique dataset from 211 seafarers representing major seafaring nationalities, this study employs structural equation modelling (SEM) to analyze the relationships. The findings of this study shed light on how seafarers’ perceptions of equality and fairness in resource distribution, management policies and procedures, and the quality of interpersonal treatment affect their job satisfaction and, in turn, their commitment to their employing organisations. This study uses a unique data set collected from seafarers from the major seafaring nations that has not been done in previous studies. Moreover, this study, for the first time, includes all three dimensions of organisational justice and explores their impact on the overall justice perception of seafarers.

Research Note: The Association of Procedural and Distributive Justice With Emotional Exhaustion Burnout Among Prison Officers in Nigeria

Prison officers have a demanding job and are at risk of burnout. The literature indicates that workplace variables are related to burnout, but there are gaps in the literature that need to be addressed, including the need for additional research on the association of organizational justice with officer burnout. Organizational justice theory holds that employees expect to be treated fairly by their organizations and that psychological strain occurs if they are not, and this strain increases the chances of job burnout. The current study examined how distributive and procedural justice views, which are dimensions of organizational justice, were related to the emotional exhaustion burnout of Nigerian prison officers. Data were collected from 120 officers stationed at medium-security prison in southeast Nigeria. Both procedural justice and distributive justice were significantly associated with lower emotional exhaustion burnout. The current findings support the postulation that workplace fairness is associated with lower levels of job burnout.

Status of Organizational Justice Dimensions: Evidence from Banks and Insurance Companies

This study examines the current state of organizational justice based on the perspectives of managers and employees in Nepalese banks and insurance companies. It also examines the differences in organizational justice dimensions. It uses a survey method, with questionnaires serving as the major tool. A total of 480 questionnaires (30 in each of the 16 institutions, including 8 commercial banks and 8 insurance companies) were distributed, and 327 (68.10%) of the completed and returned copies were used for the study. The findings demonstrate that employees generally rate their job schedule as adequate, their income as appropriate, and their workload and job requirements as reasonable. The findings indicate that employees have a positive perception of procedural justice. They also indicate that employees believe management treats them with respect, dignity, and honesty. The results suggest that the three dimensions of organizational justice differ significantly among Nepalese respondents. However, all three justice dimensions are crucial for organizational success. Therefore, companies' primary priorities should be to improve organizational justice. They should motivate employees to put up a significant effort for the benefit of the companies.

THE ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE IMPLICATIONS IN ENHANCING THE INTEGRITY OF ADMINISTRATIVE LEADERSHIP

This research aims to explore the nature of the impact of organizational justice on the integrity of administrative leadership, for a sample of employees at the College of Management and Economics at the University of Al-Qadisiyah, through distributing a questionnaire totaling 60, of which 50 were valid for analysis and 10 were invalid, with a response rate of 83%. Organizational justice was expressed as an independent variable through three dimensions: distributive justice, procedural justice, and interactional justice, based on the scale developed by Niehoff &amp; Moorman (1993), while the integrity of leadership was expressed as a dependent variable through five dimensions: courage, humility, fairness, rationality, and humanity, based on the scale by Wang &amp; Hackett (2015). Several measurement tools were used in the practical aspect, relying on SPSS statistical analysis software to calculate means, standard deviations, linear regression analysis, and correlation, in addition to using the T-test. The research concluded with a number of findings, the most important of which indicated that the level of organizational justice enjoyed by the officials in the researched organization was at moderate levels according to the opinions of the research sample. The research also provided a set of recommendations, the most important of which emphasized the necessity of enhancing all dimensions of organizational justice, including distributive, procedural, and interactional, in organizations due to their significant role in creating sound administrative leadership that fosters a positive and constructive work environment, ensuring the existence of an integrated organizational unit.

Questioning the link between organizational justice and external procedural justice in police–citizen interactions

External procedural justice in police–citizen interactions has been found to have a relationship with cooperation, compliance, and police legitimacy. The individual dimensions of organizational justice comprised of distributive, procedural, interpersonal, and informational justice, have been less frequently examined. Organizational justice has been found to be associated with many desirable outcomes both within policing and in other professions. This study utilized a convenience sample ( n = 106) of police officers from five school district police departments in the Houston, Texas metropolitan area. The study combined two sections of two existing instruments for the purpose of examining the extent to which officer perceptions of the four dimensions of organizational justice contribute to officer perceptions of external procedural justice in police–citizen interactions. Results indicated officers rated themselves very highly on the levels of external procedural justice they demonstrated with the public. Officers rated their supervisors highest in the interpersonal justice dimension of organizational justice. Surprisingly, no significant associations emerged between any of the four dimensions of organizational justice and external procedural justice. The findings of this study were inconsistent with the majority of extant research which found that organizational justice correlates with and predicts external procedural justice. This study indicated that officers may overestimate their own utilization of external procedural justice. In addition, it suggests the four dimensions of organizational justice may not predict external procedural justice and raises questions regarding the relationship between these two variables.

Emotional wage, happiness at work and organisational justice as triggers for happiness management

PurposeThis study analyses the concept of happiness management based on the empirical validation of the interactions between emotional wage, organisational justice and happiness at work. It complements a holistic view of the management models used in recent corporate governance. This perspective explores the dimension’s emotional wage mediating role and influences on organisational justice and happiness at work. The effect of organisational justice on happiness at work is also analysed.Design/methodology/approachA quantitative, cross-sectional, descriptive and correlational study is proposed. A sample of 502 workers in the education sector in Costa Rica was selected. A structural equation model (PLS-SEM) was developed to test the proposed theoretical model. The SPSS-AMOS 23 and SmartPLS 4 computer programs are used for this purpose.FindingsThe results show that emotional wage has a positive impact on happiness at work and that it mediates positively between organisational justice and happiness at work. Developing organisational policies to include these variables as necessary resources for corporate governance is recommended.Research limitations/implicationsThe first limitation of this study is due to the type of sampling, which was purposive. The kind of population and the time of execution of this study were determining factors when deciding on the mode of application of the instrument. However, an attempt to reduce the bias associated with this element could be made by expanding the sample to as many respondents as possible. The second limitation was that the data were collected within a specific time frame. Longitudinal studies address Thcould. The third limitation stems from the scarcity of literature on happiness management. In this regard, this type of research currently needs to be explored in emerging economies. It makes it difficult to determine whether the empirical results obtained in this paper can be generalised to other territories in the global village. Moreover, the last limitation is that the authors of this research have only explored the moderating role of emotional pay in the relationship between the dimensions of organisational justice and happiness at work. It would be interesting to consider other mediating variables to have a clearer picture of the organisational justice–happiness at work construct from the happiness management approach.Practical implicationsAs already indicated throughout this research, emotional wage, organisational justice and happiness at work are constructs that positively drive employee satisfaction, motivation and well-being. Human talent management strategies undertaken by organisations should encourage the adaptation of actions that stimulate employees' quality of life, corporate social responsibility and ethical management practices to be more competitive in today’s markets. It requires implementing the dynamic management models that provide internal customers with a high sense of belonging, job satisfaction and commitment to their professional performance. In other words, this will require robust leadership styles and corporate cultures that stimulate employee creativity, loyalty and innovation. For this reason, management of organisations must implement human resources policies to attract and retain creative talent through happy leadership. It requires, among other things that the philosophy of happiness management becomes a critical strategic resource for companies to promote nonfinancial benefits for employees, including emotional wage (Ruiz-Rodríguez et al., 2023).Social implicationsIn the current business environment, there has been a transformation in leadership styles, motivation and the development of a sense of belonging in organisations' human capital. Based on this trend, the study of happiness management becomes a social strategy to improve the conditions, in which the organisations compete to attract highly demanded human capital. It is why this research contributes elements that have an impact on citizenship by proposing the management models based on happiness at work and quality of life.Originality/valueThis study adds to the happiness management literature by including emotional wage, organisational justice and happiness at work in human resources and strategic management. It also contributes to the academic debate on the need to formulate organisational cultures that empower workers in their professional performance based on happiness and positive emotions.

Interpersonal and Informational Justices as Correlates of the Whistle-Blowers’ Intentions in Nigeria

This study examined whether interpersonal and informational justices are correlates of whistle-blowers’ intentions among selected local government areas in Delta State, Nigeria. In this study, two dimensions of organizational justice (interpersonal and informational justices) were used. In order to carry out the study, questionnaires were administered to employees in six local government areas and data obtained were analyzed via descriptive and inferential statistical techniques. On the basis of the analysis, it was found that while there is a significant relationship between interpersonal distributive justice and whistle-blowers’ intentions, an insignificant relationship was found between informational justices and whistle-blowers’ intentions. Thus, only interpersonal justice serve as a correlate of the whistle-blowers’ intentions. The study recommended the integration of internal disclosures via code of ethics and honesty reporting to support whistle-blowers as well as in silencing and/or punishing the whistle-blowers via retaliatory measures put in place by management of public sector.

Perceptions of organizational justice and life satisfaction among Nigerian prison staff

ABSTRACT Employee perceptions of fairness are a critical component of organizational justice, and empirical studies have shown that both distributive and procedural justice, the major dimensions of organizational justice, play a role in work performance and life satisfaction. In this study, we surveyed perceptions of organizational justice from 120 Nigerian prison staff and examined how it impacted their life satisfaction. The findings indicated both procedural and distributive justice were associated with higher levels of life satisfaction. Line staff had lower life satisfaction, but it was the only demographic variable to have a significant effect. As the costs of acting in a procedurally fair manner are minimal, interventions that increase perceptions of procedural justice are likely to improve staff’s life satisfaction, a result that has clearly positive consequences for both employers and employees. Improving distributive outcomes, such as pay and benefits, are costlier but should also result in improved life satisfaction.

The Experiences of Layoff Survivors: Navigating Organizational Justice in Times of Crisis

This study explores the impact of COVID-19 layoffs on surviving employees’ perceptions at Airbnb, a key player in the hospitality industry, during the global pandemic. The crisis brought organizational justice into sharp focus, raising questions about fairness, employee satisfaction, and trust in management. Utilizing an interpretivist approach, we conducted fifteen semi-structured interviews with Airbnb employees who survived the layoffs. Accompanied by a comprehensive literature review, our analysis delved into the challenges these employees encountered. The thematic analysis uncovered insights into organizational justice dimensions—distributive, procedural, interactive, and informational—and their role in shaping fairness perceptions and employee outcomes. Findings reveal that despite challenging circumstances, empathetic and proactive practices like regular check-ins and transparent communication significantly helped maintain fairness perceptions among survivors. This counters the common belief that layoffs invariably diminish justice perceptions. Our study demonstrates that negative impacts can be effectively mitigated through thoughtful organizational practices. In conclusion, the research underscores the importance of organizational justice during crisis-induced layoffs. It advocates for maintaining fairness and transparency to preserve employee trust and satisfaction, which are vital for organizational resilience and sustainability. This study enriches the literature on organizational justice and crisis management, providing valuable insights for businesses in similar situations.

Impact of organizational justice dimensions on social exchange theory constructs: a literature

Justice plays an essential role in all social relationships, as it underpins ongoing commitment and mutual cooperation, even in situations of uncertainty, and creates an environment in which people feel valued, respected, and motivated to continue making a positive contribution to their environment. Organizational justice is related to employees' subjective assessment of the equity in the treatment received and its influence on engagement and behavior in the work context. This study aimed at carrying out a literature review of the dimensions of organizational justice and its relationship with the most diverse constructs related to the theory of social exchange, such as trust, commitment, and cooperation, whether from employees, customers, or other agents. To this end, a systematic review was carried out using PRISMA-based strategies on the Scopus and Web of Science databases between 2015 and 2020. The results of the quantitative analysis indicate that this is a relevant topic in the academic literature published in a wide variety of journals in different categories. Furthermore, the qualitative analysis indicates that the effects of the perception of justice can be predicted in a unique way when it comes to people's behavior in social interactions since the effects of the dimensions of justice are not standardized for the different constructs in different environments and groups. This leads to the conclusion that the relationship between the different dimensions of organizational justice is quite specific, depending on the variable being analyzed and the group under study.

Fairness matters: organisational justice in project contexts

Organisational justice is an established construct in the context of permanent organisations and relates to perceptions of fairness in the working environment. Justice judgements are context specific and whilst prior research has shown the positive impact of fair treatment on organisations and employees, less is known about organisational justice in projects and the impacts of fair or unfair treatment of project team members. This paper sets out to explore these shortfalls through a qualitative multi-method study. Combining the diaries of ten project team members, with pre- and post-diary interviews, the paper presents dimensions (distributive, procedural and interactional) of organisational justice experienced in the project context, factors influencing project team members justice judgements (sources, timing, delegation, and reflection) and the impact of in-/justice on individuals (ways of working, health and wellbeing, relationships, feelings), projects (project delivery) and organisations (reputation, effectiveness of processes). Policy and practice recommendations are made.

Impact of Organizational Justice, Support, Resilience, and Need Satisfaction on French Social Workers’ Psychological Well-Being

ABSTRACT Purpose Based on an approach to psychological health at work and on social exchange theory, this study tested the relationships between the four dimensions of organizational justice (distributive, procedural, interpersonal, and informational), supervisor and coworker support, resilience and psychological well-being (PWB). Method Using a cross-sectional design with one measurement, a sample of 369 French social workers responded to an online questionnaire. Analysis were based on correlations, and on mediations with Hayes and Preacher’s (2014) method. Results The results showed that satisfaction of the three psychological needs, procedural justice, supports, and resilience explained PWB. Mediation analyses showed that satisfaction of the need for autonomy played a mediating role between interpersonal justice, procedural justice, and PWB. Satisfaction of the needs for competence and autonomy played a mediating role between coworker support and PWB. Satisfaction of the three needs played a mediating role between resilience and PWB. Discussion and conclusion The results pointed out the relevance of need satisfaction in predicting PWB. These findings confirm the relevance of justice, support, and resilience for social workers’ well-being, and of the importance of need satisfaction that plays a critical role.

Effect of organizational justice on organization citizenship behavior of female employees in Saudi Arabia

The aim of this study is to examine the association between organizational justice and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) among female workers in Saudi Arabia. Organizational justice has been acknowledged as a significant predictor of employee attitudes and behavior; however, its impact on the OCB of female workers in Saudi Arabia remains underexplored. To address this research gap, a cross-sectional survey was conducted among female workers in various organizations in Saudi Arabia. The study assessed organizational justice by considering three dimensions: distributive fairness, procedural fairness, and interactional fairness. Additionally, OCB was measured using a scale adapted from previous research. The collected data were subjected to regression analysis. The study findings indicate a positive relationship between organizational justice and OCB among female workers in Saudi Arabia. Specifically, distributive fairness, procedural fairness, and interactional fairness exerted a significant positive influence on OCB. This research contributes to the existing literature by providing empirical evidence on the impact of organizational justice on OCB among female workers in Saudi Arabia. Furthermore, it extends prior research by investigating the specific dimensions of organizational justice that affect OCB. Nonetheless, there are certain limitations to this study. Firstly, its cross-sectional nature restricts the ability to draw causal inferences. Moreover, the absence of comparisons with other cultural and national contexts represents another limitation. In conclusion, this study holds important implications for organizations in Saudi Arabia and elsewhere that aim to foster OCB among female workers. The findings suggest that enhancing organizational justice can lead to positive work behaviors among female employees. Future research should explore the generalizability of these findings to other contexts and investigate the potential moderating effects of cultural factors.

Organisational justice and strain‐based conflict among Nigerian prison officers

AbstractMost employees, including prison employees, want their employers to treat them fairly. Distributive justice (perceived fairness of outcomes) and procedural justice (perceived fairness of processes and procedures) are important dimensions of organisational justice. Limited research among correctional staff in the US suggests that views of distributive and procedural justice spill over and result in a strain‐based form of work‐family conflict. Strain‐based conflict occurs when work problems follow a person home and create conflict at home. Based on multivariate regression analysis of survey data from 120 Nigerian prison staff, distributive justice had significant negative effects on the strain‐based form of work‐family conflict. Contrary to findings among US staff, procedural justice did not have a similar significant association. The connection between views of organisational justice and strain‐based work‐family conflict appears to vary by nation.
