The justice perspective of job stress
研究提出“角色公正”这一新变量，指个体面临角色冲突、模糊、超载或自主受限时，对角色发出者反应公平性的感知。通过对医院护士样本的层次回归分析，发现角色不公正是额外的压力源，支持了角色压力模型应纳入社会评价构念的观点。
Abstract The study presents a new variable, role justice, pertaining to the perceived fairness of role senders reaction when the focal individual is under conflict, ambiguity, overload, or restricted latitude. The effect of this variable on symptoms of strain was explored, with the expectation of finding either additive or interactive effects vis‐à‐vis the above four role stressors. Using hierarchical multiple regression, the data supported the additive model which suggested that role injustice constitutes an additional source of stress. The study was conducted with a sample of hospital nurses, known to have significant levels of job stress. The results suggest that the role stress model ought to be expanded to include social appraisal constructs because of the social origin of the stressor variables it deals with.
