Organizational Justice Is Related to Heart Rate Variability in White-Collar Workers, but Not in Blue-Collar Workers—Findings from a Cross-Sectional Study

  • Original Article
  • Published:
Annals of Behavioral Medicine

Abstract

Background

Perceived injustice at work predicts coronary heart disease. Vagal dysregulation represents a potential psychobiological pathway.

Purpose

We examined associations between organizational justice and heart rate variability (HRV) indicators. Grounded in social exchange and psychological contract theory, we tested predictions that these associations are more pronounced among white-collar than among blue-collar workers.

Methods

Cross-sectional data from 222 blue-collar and 179 white-collar men were used. Interactional and procedural justice were measured by questionnaire. Ambulatory HRV was assessed across 24 h. Standardized regression coefficients (β) were calculated.

Results

Among white-collar workers, interactional justice showed positive relationships with 24-h HRV, which were strongest during sleeping time (adjusted βs ≥0.26; p values ≤0.01). No associations were found for blue-collar workers. A comparable but attenuated pattern was observed for procedural justice.

Conclusions

Both dimensions of organizational injustice were associated with lowered HRV among white-collar workers. The impact of justice and possibly its association with health seems to differ by occupational groups.
