The impact of organizational justice perceptions and resilience on the work engagement

Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of organizational justice (distributive, procedural, interpersonal, and informational) perceptions and resilience on work engagement using a cross-sectional analysis. The sample was composed of 435 professionals, of both genders, who work in public, private, or third sector organizations based mainly in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. Data was collected using Brazilian versions of the Colquitt's Organizational Justice Perception Scale, Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale, and Utrecht Work Engagement Scale. The multiple regression analysis showed that the perceptions of distributive and interpersonal justice, as well as resilience, positively predicted work engagement. It was concluded that organizational justice and resilience are motivational resources that foster work engagement.
