Abstract/Summary

A key question in organizational justice literature is how the presence or lack of justice in the workplace affects negative psychological health outcomes, such as emotional exhaustion. Due to present sociopolitical structures, emerging adult workers are more vulnerable to the influence of organizational justice and its lack thereof than older employees among the working population. The present study thus theorized a model drawing from self-determination theory and the multiple needs model of justice to explore the relationship between organizational justice and emotional exhaustion among the emerging adult worker population. Data was collected from 301 emerging adult workers, specifically employees aged 18-29, and was analyzed using a serial mediation model. The results confirmed that justice and emotional exhaustion in the workplace are negatively associated and revealed that this relationship is serially mediated by psychological need satisfaction and work alienation. Given the study’s key findings, organizations are urged to place the pursuit of justice at the forefront of what needs to be done to promote workers’ mental health. Implications in organizational and clinical practices are discussed.
