JOEM: The Association Between Organizational Justice and Health-Related (May 2022)

Pdf Summary

This study investigated the association between organizational justice (OJ) and health-related productivity loss (HRPL) among Korean employees. The study measured HRPL using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire and measured procedural and interactional justice using the Korean organizational justice questionnaire. The results showed that high levels of OJ significantly reduced HRPL, supporting the hypothesis that high OJ is associated with improved labor productivity. Previous studies have also reported OJ as a determinant factor for workplace physical and mental health. Unfair experiences within an organization can negatively affect workers' health and well-being, while high levels of OJ can lead to increased job satisfaction and reduced turnover intention. OJ also positively affects employees' intrinsic and extrinsic job satisfaction and job commitment. The findings suggest that managing perceived OJ is crucial for the success of a company and improving employee productivity. However, few studies have examined the relationship between organizational injustice and HRPL. This study fills this research gap by exploring the association between OJ and HRPL among Korean employees. The results can help organizations understand the importance of OJ in improving employee productivity and guide future research on organizational justice. It is important to note that this study has some limitations, such as its cross-sectional design and reliance on self-reported data, which may introduce bias. Further longitudinal studies are needed to establish causality, and additional research should explore the relationship between OJ and specific health problems.
