Per Eisele

Abstract
The aim of the study was to examine the relation between workplace bullying, organizational justice and wellbeing. Two instruments were validated, the NAQ and the OJQ. The sample consisted of participants (N=177) from a civil service company. The result indicates that both instruments have high internal consistency. SEM analyses indicate a strong model fit but a moderate relation between organizational justice and workplace bullying. Both organizational justice and workplace bullying are associated with wellbeing but the joint effect was not stronger than each separate effect. The study examined how organizational justice is associated with workplace bullying, and how both constructs are related to well-being. Organizational justice is a new concept in this kind of research.
