Abstract:
Organizational justice is an important organizational-level resource that may facilitate employees' motivation and personal development. The aim of the current study is to test the indirect effect of organizational justice on job performance and happiness through two key psychological states: work engagement and burnout. Based on Job Demands-Resources theory, it was hypothesized that the organizational justice would be positively associated with job performance and happiness via increased work engagement and decreased burnout. In the study participated 216 employees, nested in 62 organizations. Multilevel analyses with MLwiN software revealed that organizational justice related positively and indirectly to both job performance and happiness through higher levels of work engagement. Furthermore, justice also exerted positive indirect effects on performance and happiness through its negative association with burnout. These findings suggest that organizational justice may initiate a motivational process that can enhance both work-related outcomes and personal well-being, supporting performance at work and flourishing beyond workplace.
