“…For long spells (longer than three days), a physician's examination and a medical certificate are required. Maternity leaves and absences due to caring for a sick child are not included as sickness absences [1]. Information regarding the participants' sickness absences in this study was obtained from employers' registers between January 1, 2005 andDecember 31, 2006.…”

AbstractPurpose -The aim of this paper is to study age-related differences in how perceptions of two forms of organizational justice, i.e. procedural and interactional justice, are related to short (i.e. non-certified) spells and long (i.e. medically certified) spells of sickness absence. Design/methodology/approach -The authors conducted a study on a large sample of Finnish public sector employees (n ¼ 37; 324), in which they matched employees' 2004 survey data with their records-based sick absences in 2005 and 2006. Findings -The results suggest that age moderates the association between perceptions of procedural justice and long sickness absences after controlling for gender, tenure, occupational group, work unit, job demands and health behaviors. When older employees experienced a high level of procedural justice, they were 12 percent less likely to miss work due to medically certified illnesses. Overall, older employees were less likely to take short, non-certified sickness absences from work. Finally, the results suggest that high-quality relationships with supervisors can prevent both short and long spells of sickness absence at all ages Originality/value -The study contributes to the literature on age-related differences in the effects of psychosocial workplace conditions (organizational justice) on employee behavior (absenteeism).

“…Indeed, justice, social exchange, and time are theoretically intertwined in ongoing interactions of mutual obligation (Cropanzano & Mitchell, 2005;Fortin, Cojuharenco, Patient, & German, 2014). For example, in his seminal writing, Blau emphasized how "exchange…involves favors that create diffuse future obligations, not precisely specified ones " (1964: 93).…”

“…Gleibs et al (2008) found that procedural fairness perceptions had a positive relationship with post-merger identification over time. As Fortin, Cojuharenco, Patient and German (2014) emphasise, justice perceptions evolve over time; therefore, the knock-on effect of these perceptions should also vary across time. In an M&A context, employees' experiences across a period of organizational integration tend to involve a significant period of organizational change.…”

Despite existing research examining snapshots of employee reactions to organizational mergers and acquisitions (M&A), there is a complete absence of work theorizing or exploring rates of change in employees' organizational identification with the merged entity. We address this gap using two 3-wave longitudinal panel samples from different M&A settings, tracking change in identification through a two-year period. Theorizing trajectories of change in identification across the organizations in both settings, we make predictions linked to expected antecedents of change in identification. Our research context (M&A-1) involves a merger of three Finish universities tracking 938 employees from each organization in threewaves (9 months pre-merger to 24 months post-merger). Our second context (M&A-2) involves a multinational acquisition tracking 346 employees from both the acquired and acquiring organization in three-waves (from 2-26 months post-acquisition). Using Latent Growth Modelling we confirm predicted trajectories of change in identification. Across both samples, a linear increase (across T1, T2 and T3) in justice and linear decrease in threat perceptions were found to significantly predict a linear increase in identification across the post-M&A period. We discuss organizational identification development trajectories and how change in these two antecedents account for changes in identification across M&A contexts.
