The Influence of Organizational Justice on Job Engagement and Satisfaction Among Hospital Nurses
Posted: Feb 07, 2003
Abstract
The healthcare sector faces unprecedented challenges in maintaining an engaged and satisfied nursing workforce, particularly in hospital settings where high-stress environments and complex organizational structures can undermine professional fulfillment. Organizational justice, defined as employee perceptions of fairness in workplace decisions and interactions, represents a critical yet underexplored determinant of nurse engagement and satisfaction. While substantial research exists on general workplace satisfaction factors, the specific mechanisms through which different dimensions of organizational justice influence nursing professionals remain inadequately understood. This study addresses this gap by employing an innovative methodological approach that combines computational social science techniques with traditional organizational psychology measures to uncover the dynamic relationships between justice perceptions and professional outcomes. Our research introduces several novel contributions to the literature. First, we develop and validate a dynamic justice assessment framework that tracks how justice perceptions fluctuate in response to specific organizational events and interactions. Second, we examine the social transmission of justice perceptions through professional networks, a phenomenon we term 'justice contagion.' Third, we employ computational linguistics analysis of workplace communications to identify linguistic markers associated with justice perceptions.
