• Description:
  The objective of this study was to explore the role of organizational justice in the relationship between job stressors and measures of job satisfaction and health (body mass index; BMI) within a sample of construction workers. Results indicate that baseline decision latitude, procedural justice, and distributive justice were related to job satisfaction at the 12-month follow-up, while baseline decision latitude and distributive justice were related to BMI at the 12- month follow-up. Furthermore, a significant interaction was found between baseline decision latitude and procedural justice on 12- month job satisfaction. Findings from this study suggest that organizational leaders should address job stressors, while also focusing on aspects of organizational justice, as a means for improving employee well-being and health.
