Organizational justice, job stress, and work-family conflict: their interrelationships in universities' personnel (original) (raw)

Presence of justice in an organization plays a crucial role on employees’ well-being and remarkable success of the organization itself. This fair environment may be an important factor in lower levels of stress, which is associated with balancing demands between work and family domains among employees at university. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between distributive, procedural, and interactional dimensions of organizational justice and job stress, between work-family conflict and job stress, and whether the perception of organizational justice elements do influence work-family conflict. In sum, drawing upon 146 nonacademic employees at 5 state universities in Iran, our result indicated that interactional justice had the strongest negative relationship with stress at work and workfamily conflict. Moreover, the reciprocal correlation was found between job stress and work-family conflict. Hence, in order to decrease level of stress and to better manage the work and family lives, organizations need to promote justice in workplace.
