Organizational justice at school and its associations with pupils’ psychosocial school environment, health, and wellbeing

Social Capital in Schools

“…This proposal leads to a hypothesis that the quality of relationships between adults at school may also be important in relation to well-being among young people. This question was addressed in large-scale studies of over 24,000 students in 136 Finnish secondary schools (Elovainio et al, 2011 ;. In these multilevel studies, the perceptions of school staff of their working environment were aggregated at school level and linked to individual students' perceptions of their well-being, school environment, health and behavioral outcomes, and academic achievement.…”

“…In these studies, vertical social capital at school was indicated by supervisors' ability to suppress personal biases, to treat subordinates with kindness and consideration, and to take steps to deal with subordinates in a truthful manner, i.e., relational justice (Moorman, 1991 ). The study by Elovainio et al ( 2011 ) showed that when teachers perceived their schools as having low relational justice, their students had a higher risk for poor academic performance, truancy, and for reporting more psychosomatic and depressive symptoms. In a similar vein, horizontal social capital at the workplace was indicated by team climate, especially its component of trust and Less physical and psychological symptoms Cross-sectional, data from independent sources opportunity for participation (Kivimäki & Elovainio, 1999 ).…”

“…Schools are an important social context in young people's lives because young people spend a considerable amount of their time in schools. Since research has shown between-school variance in students' health-related outcomes (Elovainio et al, 2011 ;Richmond & Subramanian, 2009 ;Virtanen, Pietikäinen, et al, 2009 ), schools may infl uence adolescents' health and well-being. High level of education can also be seen as an endpoint of coevolution of human capital with social capital.…”

Burnout e Justiça Organizacional: Um Estudo em Servidores Públicos Federais

“…Estudos anteriores referentes a relação entre Burnout e Justiça no ambiente organizacional afirmam a existência de uma série de consequência não desejadas como inerente dos reflexos do Burnout na percepção de Justiça e vice versa, tais como Alcoolismo (Kouvonen et al, 2008); Exaustão Emocional (Cole, Bernerth, Walter, & Holt, 2010); Problemas no sono e Stress Emocional (Elovainio et al, 2009); Ansiedade (Elovainio, Kivimaki, Vahtera, Virtanen, & Keltikangas-Jarvinen, 2003); Dificuldade de comprometimento (Deconinck & Stilwell, 2004;Paz-Vega, 2009;Heponiemi, Kuusio, Sinervo & Elovainio, 2011); Redução de produtividade (Paz-Vega, 2009;Heponiemi et al, 2007;Devonish & Greenidge, 2010;Husted & Folger, 2004); Comportamentos negativos no ambiente de trabalho (Deconinck & Stilwell, 2004); Turn Over (Sora, Caballer, Peiro, Silla & Gracia, 2010;Elovainio et al, 2011;Cole et al, 2010;Parker & Kohlmeyer, 2005) entre outras consequências que podem influenciar nas metas e objetivos organizacionais, bem como em demais aspectos da vida dos indivíduos.…”

An Action-oriented Critical Pedagogical Theory

“…In addition, although they know how the society works, and their knowledge of civics is good in international comparison, their willingness to political participation is lower than in other OECD countries (see Kupari & Siisiäinen, 2012). Simultaneously, more and more expressions of violence and malaise take place in schools and youth camps (Elovainio et al, 2011; see also Horsthemke, 2009;Kaltiala-Heino et al, 1999). The tendency is worrying.…”
