PERCEIVED JOB STRENUOUSNESS AND SLEEP PROBLEMS : THE MODERATING ROLE OF ORGANIZATIONAL JUSTICE

Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine the relationships between perceptions of job strenuousness, distributive justice and sleep problems. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a sample of
151 employees from various organizations. Data
were collected by occupational physicians or nurses
during annual systematic examinations. results of
regression analysis showed that perceived job strenuousness was positively related to sleep problems.
moreover, perceived distributive justice was found
to moderate this relationship such that the relationship between job strenuousness and sleep problems
were not statistically significant for employees
reporting high levels of distributive justice. The theoretical and practical implications of these results
are discussed.
