研究表明，感知到的不公平会导致更高的因病缺勤率。虽然较短但更频繁的因病缺勤可能有助于个人缓解高压力，但长期因病缺勤可能是更严重的健康问题的征兆。不确定性管理模型表明，正义在不确定性时期尤其重要，例如，感知到的工作不安全感。本研究调查了在工作不稳定的情况下，工作中的人际公平和信息公平分别与长期和频繁因病缺勤之间的关系。数据来自 2010 年、2012 年和 2014 年两年一次的瑞典纵向职业健康调查 (SLOSH)。最终分析样本由 19,493 人组成。我们通过广义估计方程（GEE）应用重复测量回归分析，这是一种同时分析不同时间点变量的纵向数据方法。我们计算了长期和频繁因病缺勤的风险，分别与人际公正和信息公正相关，同时考虑到工作不安全感。我们发现，信息公正和人际公正与长期和频繁因病缺勤的风险相关，与工作不安全感和人口变量无关。自回归 GEE 的结果为正义感与因病缺勤之间的因果关系提供了一些支持。与预期相反，我们发现正义与工作不安全感之间没有相互作用。我们的结果强调，无论员工是否存在工作不安全感，都需要公平公正地对待员工，以保持员工健康并最大限度地减少因病缺勤而损失的工作日。本文的在线版本 (10.1186/s12889-017-4899-y) 包含补充材料，可供授权用户使用。
Research has shown that perceived unfairness contributes to higher rates of sickness absence. While shorter, but more frequent periods of sickness absence might be a possibility for the individual to get relief from high strain, long-term sickness absence might be a sign of more serious health problems. The Uncertainty Management Model suggests that justice is particularly important in times of uncertainty, e.g. perceived job insecurity. The present study investigated the association between interpersonal and informational justice at work with long and frequent sickness absence respectively, under conditions of job insecurity. Data were derived from the 2010, 2012, and 2014 biennial waves of the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH). The final analytic sample consisted of 19,493 individuals. We applied repeated measures regression analyses through generalized estimating equations (GEE), a method for longitudinal data that simultaneously analyses variables at different time points. We calculated risk of long and frequent sickness absence, respectively in relation to interpersonal and informational justice taking perceptions of job insecurity into account. We found informational and interpersonal justice to be associated with risk of long and frequent sickness absence independently of job insecurity and demographic variables. Results from autoregressive GEE provided some support for a causal relationship between justice perceptions and sickness absence. Contrary to expectations, we found no interaction between justice and job insecurity. Our results underline the need for fair and just treatment of employees irrespective of perceived job insecurity in order to keep the workforce healthy and to minimize lost work days due to sickness absence.
