“…18 In its study, the World Health Organization (WHO) 19 highlighted that nursing is one of the skilled professions in Egypt; however, nurses often face challenging workplace conditions with little institutional recognition or support and demotivation due to low salaries, besides other challenges such as shortage of personnel, heavy workload, indefinite duties, and insufficient equipment that have brought about dissatisfaction with work and feelings of frustration. 20 A literature review revealed that so far few studies exist that have researched organisational justice and workplace deviance together. 17,18,21 However, the impact of organisational justice on workplace deviance was not assessed by any of the studies.…”

Background: Today, healthcare organizations are challenged to retain nurses’ generation and to maintain justice that is a predictor of nurses’ behaviors in their work environment. Acquiring knowledge about the level of organizational justice and workplace deviance could help in identifying factors amenable for change that can make a difference in enhancing nurses’ dedication and loyalty to their organizations. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate nurses’ perception of organisational justice and workplace deviance in their hospital, and to determine the relationship between perceived organisational justice and workplace deviance. Methods: A cross-sectional design was used with a convenient sample of all nurses (N = 400) who were working in inpatient care units at two Egyptian hospitals affiliated to the university and private health sectors in Alexandria governorate, Egypt. Organisational justice and workplace deviance questionnaires proved valid and reliable to measure studied variables. Descriptive analysis, Student’s t-test, Pearson correlation (r), and regression analysis (R2) were used for statistical analysis. Ethical considerations: This study was approved by the Ethics Committee at the Faculty of Nursing, Alexandria University. Informed consent, information confidentiality, and voluntary participation were guaranteed. Results: This study showed that overall nurses’ perceptions of organisational justice and workplace deviance are lower than the average. Organisational justice significantly related negatively to workplace deviance (r = −0.152, p = 0.002) and organisational justice as an independent variable contributed a significant predictive power of workplace deviance (R2 = 0.023). Conclusions: This study highlighted important implications for hospital and nurse managers to create and maintain a healthy and supportive work environment that promotes organisational justice and decreases workplace deviance. To achieve this, a culture of respectful communication, justice in policies, and a proper procedure for allocating resources, workload, and rewards systems is a must. Educational interventions to increase nurses’ awareness of workplace deviance and its potential consequences and coping strategies are imperative for the health of the nursing profession.

“…This may be ascribed to the fact that the nurses are pleased about their work environment, they willingly work in an HD unit, their OJ scores are above the average, the organısatıons support the nurses in their application to get a dialysis certificate, and they have no difficulty in getting supplies in the workplace. There's a negative correlation between OJ and EE, anxiety, work stress, depression and moral distress (Elovainio et al ; Laschinger ; Haghighinezhad et al ; Top & Tekingündüz ), whereas there's a positive significant correlation between JS and ORGANISATIONAL commitment and trust (Top ).…”

L. (2019). The effect of perceived organisational justice on job satisfaction and burnout levels of haemodialysis nurses. Journal of Renal Care XX(XX),1-9. S U M M A R YBackground: Organisational justice influences job satisfaction, the performance of individuals and the functioning of institutions.The lack of evidence-based studies investigating the relationship between hemodialysis nurses' perceptions of organisational justice, job satisfaction and burnout has created a research gap in this area. Objective:To investigate the effect of perceived organisational justice on professional satisfaction and burnout levels of haemodialysis nurses and to identify any relation ship with individual and organisational factors. Material and Methods:The study was designed as a multi-centre descriptive study. The data were collected using the 'personal information form', the Organisational Justice Scale', the 'Maslach Burnout Inventory' and the 'Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire'. Results:The distributive justice scores decreased as the depersonalisation scores of the nurses increased. As the personal accomplishment scores of the nurses increased, the interactional justice scores also increased. It was observed that the job satisfaction scores increased as the sub-dimensional scores of the organisational justice scale increased and exhaustion decreased. Conclusion:It was detected that there was a significant relationship between the organisational justice perception of nurses and their job satisfaction and level of burnout. Institutions are encouraged to adopt a fair policy towards nurses and promote personal development.
