Predictive effects of organizational justice on job satisfaction in bus drivers: the moderating effects of role overload and proactive personality

BackgroundThere have been few longitudinal studies on Chinese bus drivers and the individual differences in the relationships between organizational justice and job satisfaction. This study examined the organizational justice and job satisfaction in bus drivers and the individual differences in this relationship.MethodsA two-wave longitudinal study design was employed. A first survey was conducted on 513 Chinese bus drivers in October 2021 that collected socio-demographic information and asked about their perceptions of organizational fairness. A second survey was conducted six months later that asked about role overload and job satisfaction and assessed their proactive personality type. An effect model was then used to explore the moderating effects of role overload and proactive personality type on the relationships between organizational justice and job satisfaction.ResultsBoth procedural and interactive justice predicted the bus drivers’ job satisfaction. Proactive personalities and role overload were found to enhance this relationship.ConclusionsOrganizations could benefit from screening at the recruitment stage for drivers with highly proactive personalities. Relevant training for drivers with low proactive personalities could partially improve employee job satisfaction. When viewed from a Chinese collectivist cultural frame, role overload could reflect trust and a sense of belonging, which could enhance job satisfaction. Finally, to improve employee job satisfaction, organizations need to ensure procedural and interactive justice.

Stress, job satisfaction, and workplace climate in Italian police workers

Abstract: Police job, because of its inherent characteristics, predisposes to work in stressful contexts on a daily basis. The features of the work environment, such as a good organizational climate, could play an important role in maintaining a good level of job satisfaction. The aim of the present study is to investigate, using OLS regressions, which climate dimensions predict job satisfaction and stress in a sample of police workers (N = 665) in Northern Italy. In addition, the differences between groups in terms of organizational climate and stress are examined, especially in relation to role (police officers vs. other roles) and gender. Results showed that all dimensions of workplace climate (except fairness, autonomy and communication) were positively and significantly associated with job satisfaction, while job description, job involvement, team and leadership were negatively and significantly associated with stress. Compared to the differences between groups, police officers showed significantly more critical scores on most of the variables included in the analyses (workplace climate and stress); in terms of gender, women showed more negative scores on stress symptoms (relational problems, emotional distress and physical problems) and more positive perceptions of organizational fairness. This study offers new insights into the critical role of police officers and gender differences in the police force. The importance of supporting and maintaining a good organizational climate in such a critical profession is also confirmed.

Balancing the equation: assessing the impact of management practices on staff and faculty wellbeing in Chinese higher education institutions.

The intersection of work-family dynamics and job contentment has become a pivotal area of investigation within the higher education landscape, drawing scholarly attention, especially in the Chinese context. This study delves into the intricate relationship between work-family culture and job satisfaction, with a particular spotlight on the mediating influence of perceptions of organizational fairness. The impetus behind this emphasis lies in the burgeoning acknowledgment of organizational justice as a pivotal force shaping employee attitudes and conduct within academic establishments. This research was conducted using two distinct groups. The first group consisted of 1,075 faculty members at Chinese universities, while the second group comprised 972 administrative and technical employees at these institutions. The mediational analyses provided in this study offer an enhanced comprehension of the intricate relationships under discussion. Significantly, the findings reveal that Work-Family Culture plays a crucial predictive role in influencing perceptions of Organizational Justice among both faculty and administrative staff. More importantly, the study uncovers that Work-Family Culture indirectly affects Job Satisfaction through its impact on Organizational Justice. This insight underscores the importance of harmonious work-family interactions as a determinant of job-related attitudes and satisfaction levels.

기초자치단체 공무원의 공직가치와 조직시민행동과의 관계에서 조직공정성의 조절효과

This study aimed to examine the relationship between public values and organizational fairness among public officials working in local governments and empirically investigate whether organizational fairness has a moderating effect on the relationship between public values and organizational citizenship behavior. To achieve this, we analyzed relevant prior studies on the variables and utilized empirical research methods for this analysis. Based on the results, the following conclusions can be drawn. First, as the level of public values among local government officials increased, organizational citizenship behavior also increased. Second, as the perception of organizational fairness among public officials increased, organizational citizenship behavior also increased. Third, the moderating effect of organizational fairness in the relationship between public values and organizational citizenship behavior was found to be statistically insignificant.

Designing human resource management systems in the age of AI

The increasing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping the practices of human resource management (HRM). We propose a typology of HR–AI collaboration systems across the dimensions of task characteristics (routine vs. non-routine; low vs. high cognitive complexity) and social acceptability of such systems among organizational members. We discuss how organizations should design HR–AI collaboration systems in light of issues of AI explainability, high stakes contexts, and threat to employees’ professional identities. We point out important design considerations that may affect employees' perceptions of organizational fairness and emphasize HR professionals' role in the design process. We conclude by discussing how our Point of View article contributes to literatures on organization design and human–AI collaboration and suggesting potential avenues for future research.

Employee Perceptions of Fairness in Resource Distribution within Large Corporations

Employee perceptions of fairness in resource distribution play a crucial role in shaping workplace attitudes and behaviors. Understanding these perceptions is vital for enhancing employee satisfaction and overall organizational effectiveness. This study aims to explore the qualitative dimensions of fairness as perceived by employees within large corporations, focusing on how resources such as bonuses, promotions, and training opportunities are allocated. A qualitative research design was employed, utilizing semi-structured interviews to collect data from 22 employees across various departments within large corporations. The interview protocol was designed to investigate the depth of employees' perceptions regarding the fairness of resource distribution. Theoretical saturation was achieved, ensuring a comprehensive exploration of the topic. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis to identify patterns and themes. The analysis revealed three main themes: Transparency, Equity, and Employee Satisfaction. Transparency included categories such as Communication of Decisions, Criteria for Allocation, and Access to Information. Equity was delineated into Equal Opportunities, Recognition and Rewards, Diversity and Inclusion, and Needs-Based Allocation. Employee Satisfaction comprised Perceived Fairness, Impact on Performance, Feedback Mechanisms, Professional Growth, and Workplace Atmosphere, each influencing employees' perceptions of organizational fairness and their personal and professional well-being. The study underscores the importance of transparency and equity in resource distribution processes within large corporations. Ensuring clear communication, equitable practices, and a focus on employee satisfaction can significantly enhance perceptions of fairness and, by extension, foster a more committed and productive workforce. These findings suggest that organizations should prioritize fair and transparent resource distribution strategies to improve employee relations and organizational outcomes.

The Outcomes of Organizational Fairness among Precarious Workers: The Critical Role of Anomie at the Work

Precarious workers usually have some of the most unstable working conditions in any country. In this research, we firstly investigated the influence of organizational fairness on the emotional exhaustion and leave intentions of Peruvian precarious workers. Then, we tested the mediating role of anomie at work in the relationship between organizational fairness and the emotional exhaustion and leave intentions of precarious workers. To identify the impact of organizational fairness on these workers, we conducted a cross-sectional survey among 206 precarious workers in Peru. Our results showed that treating precarious workers fairly reduced their emotional exhaustion and leave intentions. Furthermore, we found that anomie at work mediate the relationship between organizational fairness and the emotional exhaustion and the relationship between organizational fairness and leave intentions of precarious workers. We provide empirical evidence of the critical role of organizational fairness in the reduction of emotional exhaustion and leave intentions among precarious workers. Examining the consequences of precarious workers’ perceptions of organizational fairness is needed for owners and managers of companies to have a clear understanding of how precarious workers’ working environments may shape their attitudes and work behaviors.

What motivates academics for external engagement? Exploring the effects of motivational drivers and organizational fairness

AbstractAcademics have different motivations for external engagement, including to acquire external resources for research (research advancement motivation), to contribute to society (prosocial motivation), or to acquire monetary benefits (pecuniary motivation). Universities also have varying policies for rewarding external engagement. This paper examines the relationship between academics’ motivations for engaging, their perceptions of the fairness of their universities’ policies, and their actual level of external engagement. Most academics consider contributing to the betterment of society as the most important reason for engagement, followed by the advancement of their research. Conversely, few academics consider obtaining personal income to be important. The perceived importance of all three motivations is positively associated with actual engagement behavior. Notably, the strength of research advancement motivation is more closely associated with external engagement than the strength of pecuniary motivation. However, perceptions of organizational fairness are not related to external engagement.

The Effects of Fairness on Female Managers’ Perception of Career Prospects and Job Satisfaction: A Study across Sectors

ABSTRACT The perception of organizational fairness is particularly important to women employees, who constantly confront challenges while climbing the hierarchy. This study examines the impacts of the fairness of three organizational levels – Superior, CEO, and HR practices – on women’s career prospects and job satisfaction. We constructed a panel dataset using three waves of the Korean Women Manager Panel with 1,115 women managers across the three sectors in South Korea. We find that women managers’ job satisfaction is positively associated with the fairness of superiors and HR practices in all three sectors, while the fairness of CEO has no impact on job satisfaction in all three sectors. We also find that the fairness of CEO has a positive impact on career prospects in the for-profit sector but no such impact in the public and nonprofit sectors. The findings suggest that CEO fairness may involve procedural justice rather than interactional justice.

Causal Role of the Right Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex in Organizational Fairness Perception: Evidence From a Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Study.

The right dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (rDLPFC) plays an essential role in social decision-making. Although several neural imaging studies have provided evidence that the rDLPFC is correlated with fairness perception, little research has investigated the causal effect of this encephalic region on individuals’ consciousness, particularly perceptions of organizational fairness. The present study explores the causal relationship between the rDLPFC and organizational fairness perception by using brain modulation techniques. Healthy participants received transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and fulfilled the modified ultimatum game (UG) in the sham-controlled experiment. Our results showed that only cathodal stimulation of the rDLPFC resulted in increasing rejection offers compared with the sham stimulation in conditions of disadvantageous inequity. No differences were found between the anodal and sham stimulation in any inequity condition. This study strengthens the main functional effects of the rDLPFC in negative emotional control in relation to organizational fairness perceptions.

Governance Reforms, Individualization of Human Resource Management (HRM), and Impact on Workplace Behavior—A Black Box?

The purpose of this article is to discuss the relationship between destandardization and delegation trends; ethical leadership; perceptions of organizational fairness; and justice and workplace behavior. It is argued that current destandardization, delegation, and individualization trends in the field of HRM place additional burdens on managers. In times of de-bureaucratization, more job autonomy and flatter hierarchies, managers change; shape; direct; and alter employeés lives. On the other hand, research has found that justice perceptions of the leader are strongly related to employee outcomes. Still, there is very little evidence on all these trends. In which HR fields can we observe destandardization and delegation trends? What is individualization of HR and how does this relate to ethics? How much discretionary powers have managers in making HR decisions? What forms of leadership behavior impact on what type of organizational justice perceptions? How professional are managers in carrying out these tasks? Are managers aware about the importance of ethical leadership on different forms of justice perceptions? The article concludes that academic discussions about all of these issues are still very rudimentary. Thus, the purpose of this article is to suggest a new important reform agenda in this field.

The influence of organizational justice on corporate performances

Professional and committed employees have always been a desirable resource in the portfolio of human resources of each company because their expertise and engagement can significantly affect the overall performance of businesses. The readiness to put the potential that have in the function of the company is, however, under the influence of a variety of factors, starting from the design of the job, through the reward system, to the possibility of promotion. As one of the most important factors, which is not sufficiently addressed in domestic literature, is the perception of organizational fairness, as well. This category refers on the degree to which employees believe that the decisions made in the company are fair, the procedures that are applied are fair, and the treatment of the employees to whom the decisions are made for are fair. Numerous empirical researches have shown that when a higher level of organizational justice is perceived in the company, it has a positive impact on the manifestation of organizational citizenship behaviour, job satisfaction, commitment, etc. Since all these forms of employees' behaviour and attitudes are positively correlated with individual, and thus overall, organizational, performances, organizational justice could be seen as one of the factors that can influence the performance that the company as a whole. Bearing in mind the above, the subject of the paper is to examine whether organizational justice has a statistically significant impact on the performance of companies in Serbia, and to what extent some forms of organizational justice (distribution, procedural and interactive) affect them. The aim of the paper is to propose mechanisms and measures based on the results of the research to managers, whose implementation can contribute to the increase of organizational justice in those segments that are poorly assessed. The starting assumption of the paper is that organizational justice has a statistically significant impact on company performance. In order to verify the validity of this assumption, the methods of correlation and regression analysis will be used. The analysis will be based on the data obtained from the primary research carried out in the companies mostly in the South East of Serbia. The theoretical implications of the paper are reflected in filling in the gaps in domestic literature regarding organizational justice and its possible implications, while empirical implications are reflected in the ability to increase the level of justices in the companies in Serbia by applying the proposed mechanisms and measures and thus positively influence attitudes, behaviour and performances of employees.

Inside Job: Exploring the Connection Between Whistleblowing and Perceptions of Procedural Justice

Recent instances of whistleblowing by U.S. federal employees have reinvigorated scholarly interest in its role toward ethical administration. Previous studies have expanded our understanding of how factors such as organizational conditions; individual characteristics; motives; and perceived consequences shape decisions to engage in whistleblowing. However, studies examining employee perceptions of organizational fairness as a factor in disclosure processes remain absent from this literature. This study fuses whistleblowing and organizational justice by examining organizational, demographic, and legislative factors influencing employee perceptions of procedural justice. Findings from the study suggest that although the actions of external disclosure channels and enactment of federal whistleblower legislation have minimal impact on perceptions of procedural justice, employee supervisory status and organizational commitment are positively associated with elevated employee perceptions of procedural justice. Implications of the study and additional research dimensions are discussed.

Career Choice, Barriers, and Prospects of Asian American Social Workers

The current study explored factors influencing career choices of Asian American social workers and assessed if their personal characteristics and career-related experiences affected their perceived glass ceiling, perception of ethnic discrimination, and perception of career prospects. A total of 208 Asian American social work administrators, supervisors, practitioners and graduate social work students participated in a comprehensive online survey. Participants provided basic demographic and career-related information and completed a set of measures to explore their reasons of choosing social work as their career, and their career perceptions and prospects. Correlation analyses and multiple regression analyses were used to identify predictors of their perception of ethnic discrimination, perceived glass ceiling, and perception of career prospects. The findings showed that altruistic reasons were very important to extremely important in their choice of social work as their career. Social work idealism was found to associate positively with both altruistic reasons and professional concerns of choosing social work. There was a significant relationship between participant’s immigration status and family influence on their career choice. Those who were not born in the U.S. were more likely to be influenced by their family in their career choice than those who were born in in the U.S. Those whose parents were not born in the U.S. were more likely to be influenced by their family expectations on their career choice than either of their parents was born in the U.S. Perceptions of organizational fairness was found to be a strong predictor of perceived glass ceiling, perception of ethnic discrimination, and perception of career prospects. Implications of the findings for social work education and future research were discussed.

Differences in Perceptions of Organizational Fairness Based on Job Characteristics among Police Officers

Profuse research supports that organizational work environments are linked to varying police officers’ work-related attitudes and behaviors. Yet, there remains a lack of information pertaining to how perceptions of organizational fairness may differ among police officers based on job characteristics. To help fill this void, this exploratory research examines differences in fairness perceptions based on officers’ tenure, rank, duty assignment, and department size with their perceptions of organizational fairness. To examine this relationship, an online survey of police officers (n = 1649) in a southern state in the United States that were members of a police officer association was conducted. Findings support that differences in overall fairness perceptions exist for all the aforementioned job characteristics. This study furthers our knowledge and understanding of how job characteristics (e.g., tenure, rank, duty assignment, and department size) may be associated with police officers’ work-related attitudes.

Citizenship as Targeted Behavior: Responses to Organizational Justice and the Role of Culture

Data were solicited from 150 employees and their supervisors representing various public sector entities of Pakistan. Results showed that distributive and interactional fairness predict interpersonal organizational citizenship behavior. Organizational fairness did not predict citizenship behavior targeted at organizations. Organizational justice had negative values of citizenship behavior for higher values of collectivism. Findings and implications for human resource management practitioners and suggestions for future research are discussed.

Diversity Management and Fairness in Public Organizations

Diversity management was initially adopted in the pursuit of fairness and equality and the promotion of an inclusive workforce by public organizations. However, previous studies regarding diversity management have focused on job performance or job satisfaction. Thus, in this article, we attempt to examine whether diversity management advances organizational fairness in public organizations. By examining data from the 2013 Federal Employee Viewpoint Survey (FEVS), we find that diversity management is positively related to the perception of organizational fairness in the federal workplace. In addition, we also find that female and minority employees perceive diversity management in terms of fairness differently.
