Abstract

The objective of the present study was to validate a German 11item organizational justice questionnaire GOJQ that consists of two subscales referred to as “procedural justice” PJ and “interactional justice” IJ adapted from Moorman’s organizational justice OJ questionnaire A second objective was to determine associations of the GOJQ with selfrated healthThis study used crosssectional data from an occupational cohort of 1518 factory workers from Germany 877  male mean age = 388 with SD = 119 After splitting the sample in two random subsamples we assessed structural validity by exploratory factor analyses in one subsample and by confirmatory factor analysis in the other subsample Internal validity was assessed by Cronbach’s α Associations with selfreported poor health were estimated by logistic regressionThe full scale and its subscales yielded Cronbach’s α’s of ≥09 and itemtotal correlations were ≥05 Factor analyses confirmed the expected 2factor structure labeled “interactional justice” IJ 4 items λ 043–094 and “procedural justice” PJ 7 items λ 046–083 respectively and showed an acceptable fit to the data χ 2 = 61 p = 001 CFI = 0995 RMSEA = 0037 The OJ total score as well as subscale scores in the lowest quartile when compared to the highest quartile was associated with an ≥23 increased odds of reporting poor healthThe GOJQ seems to be a valid and useful tool for observational and intervention studies in occupational settings Future studies may additionally explore longitudinal associations and test the generalizability of the present findings to other populations and health outcomes
