In addition, a recent study found that the inability for employees to make decisions affecting the experience of fairness was associated with increased long-term levels of inflammatory markers CRP and IL-6 among men (Elovainio et al, 2010).

Employment Insecurity, Workplace Justice and Employees’ Burnout in Taiwanese Employees: A Validation Study

“…In another study based on the Whitehall II Study cohort, a five-item scale for organizational justice was constructed by using items from existing scales that were originally designed to measure effort-reward imbalance and social support [38]. This five-item scale had Cronbach's α coefficients ranging between 0.71 and 0.73 [39][40][41][42]. In studies from Finnish researchers, organizational justice was evaluated with three subscales-distributive justice scale (four items, α=0.62), procedural justice (seven items, α= 0.92) and interpersonal justice (six items, α=0.95) [43].…”
