Studying the styles in managing conflicts is critical in preventing the detrimental effects of interpersonal conflicts on employees' well-being. In a sample of 390 Malaysian public sector subordinates, the relationships between conflict management styles (bargaining and problem solving) and psychological strain (somatic strain and depressive symptoms) was explored. Based on social exchange theory, it was further expected interactional justice to work as a moderator in this relationship, buffering the negative consequences of bargaining styles for subordinates with supervisors whom are having high rather than low interactional justice. Results indicate that bargaining was positively associated with somatic strain, while problem-solving was negatively associated with both somatic strain and depressive symptoms. As hypothesised, the PLS-SEM product moderator indicator approach analysis revealed that perceived interactional justice buffered the negative consequences of bargaining styles on somatic strain and depressive symptoms. This study's primary novelty is to highlight interactional justice as a "helping hand" protecting against the negative consequences of bargaining styles among subordinates. Consequently, it has a main practical implication for organisational management aimed at sustaining the wellbeing for their manpower.
In disruptive need to create healthy workplace in organization, in other side, 98% employee experienced workplace incivility. Most of experienced workplace incivility instrument is developed and validated in English, and has not been much studied about experience workplace incivility instrument adapted from English to Indonesia. Hence, the research aims to cross-culturally adapt the Workplace Incivility Scale. The process of the translation and culture adaption is referred to the guidelines for the cross cultural adaptation process, as suggested by Beaton, consisting of 6 stages. The first stage is forward translation, second stage is synthesis, third stage is back translation, the fourth stage is expert committee review, the fifth stage is pilot-test, and sixth stage is submission and appraisal of all written reports by developer's/committee. Translation is conducted using two independent translators, two language native translators, expert committee review that consisted of four expert professional judgments at psychological field, one expert methodologist, and one expert language professional. Respondent questionnaire is used to analyse the results of pilot study on 46 employees. A validity item as a result of fifth stage is the correlation between item and total item range from 0.519 until 0.864. The item was analysed quantitatively using SPSS, and the result of the reliability with Cronbach's Alpha is 0.861 indicating higher reliability. Based on the results of quantitative analysis of the test data, the items met the criteria of item validity and reliability. Significantly, the measuring tool can be used in the assessment employees for increasing health workplace and their performance.
