“…Yet, the main contribution of this study extends beyond these fundamental patterns-it involves the discovery of the conditions that function as a moderating influence in this association. The distributive justice literature has identified several situational/structural factors that moderate individuals' emotional reactions to distributive injustice, including SES, financial security, and job authority (Narisada 2017;Narisada and Schieman 2016;Schieman et al 2020). Yet, as Hegtvedt and Parris (2014:114) rightly observed, "factors moderating the effects of distributive and interactional injustice on emotions require further investigation."…”

Perceived Distributive Unfairness and Mental Health: The Gender-contingent Buffering Effects of Religion

Prior research has established that perceived distributive unfairness is associated with poor mental health. The purpose of this study is to examine whether religion moderates this association and whether gender conditions the moderating effects of religion. Using data from the 2012 Korean General Social Survey ( N = 1,375), the current analyses show that perceived distributive unfairness is positively associated with depression. However, each of the two indicators of religion—religious attendance and salience—weakens the positive association between perceived distributive unfairness and depression among women, but not men. These observations suggest that religion provides a stress-buffering effect against perceived distributive unfairness only for women. Thus, the findings of this study highlight the gendered ways that religion shapes the association between perceived distributive unfairness and mental health. I discuss the theoretical implications of these findings for views about the complex interrelationships among stress, coping resources, gender, and mental health.

“…Following equity theory (Adams 1965; Walster, Walster, and Berscheid 1978), scholars have documented the influence of a prominent type of distributive injustice—the sense of unjust earnings—on a variety of emotional, health, and behavioral indicators. These include work-related outcomes, such as job dissatisfaction and turnover (D’Ambrosio, Clark, and Barazzetta 2018; Narisada and Schieman 2016), and also extend to indicators of well-being, such as anger, depression, and physical health symptoms (Hegtvedt 1990; Narisada 2017; Schunck, Sauer, and Valet 2015). Collectively, these results demonstrate that the sense of distributive injustice has significant costs for individuals and organizations.…”

Job Pressure, the Work-Family Interface, and the Sense of Distributive Injustice: An Elaboration of Work-Related Inputs among Twenty-First Century Workers

Research in social psychology demonstrates that the sense of distributive injustice has emotional, health, and behavioral consequences. It is therefore important to assess how individuals come to perceive their earnings as unjust. I provide new insights to this question by integrating perspectives in distributive justice, the stress process, and the work-family interface. Specifically, I describe a model that delineates how excessive work pressures elevate workers’ sense of what they should earn through actions and strains in the work-family interface. Using data from a 2017 sample of Canadian workers, the results indicate that higher job pressure is associated with a greater expectation of rewards. Part of this association is indirect through role blurring behavior and work-to-family conflict, and this mechanism is intensified for parents. Collectively, these discoveries expand the scope of what counts as inputs in shaping employees’ sense of what they should justly earn.

“…A central question in distributive justice is: What do people think is just? It is important to document the answers to this question, especially given the consequences of perceived underreward for employee health and well-being (Clay-Warner et al, 2005 ; Falk et al, 2018 ; Narisada, 2017 ; Schunck et al, 2015 ; Tepper, 2001 ). Using a mixed methods research design, our study provides one answer to this question by elaborating on the forms of work-related contributions and needs that shape contemporary workers’ sense of their just reward.…”

Downloaded Work, Sideloaded Work, and Financial Circumstances: The Contemporary Worker’s Experience of Equity and Need Principles

People value being paid appropriately for their work—but national surveys indicate that many working adults report a discrepancy between what they actually earn and what they think they should justly earn. This evidence provides an impetus for examining the factors that shape workers’ justice perceptions of earnings. The present study elaborates on two key distributive justice principles—equity and need—that guide people’s ideas about their just reward. We ask: How do contemporary workers experience and understand the nature of work effort and need? We employ a mixed methods research design to answer this question. First, we analyze focus group interviews among workers in Toronto, Ontario ( N = 22), and generate two novel hypotheses about the factors that shape workers’ expectation for greater rewards: “downloaded” and “sideloaded” extra work that induce feelings of overwork, and rising cost of living and the associated financial strain. Second, drawing upon focus group narratives, we operationalize these concepts and test our hypotheses with a 2019 nationally representative sample of Canadian workers ( N = 2,111). The results show that downloaded and sideloaded extra work shape greater reward expectations partly through the sense of overload, and rising cost of living and the associated financial strain also shape reward expectations. Furthermore, financial strain amplifies the link between extra work and greater reward expectations. We situate these findings within a broader discussion of the nature of effort and need among contemporary workers and its implications for justice perceptions.
