Stress, retaliation and perception of injustice in organizations: proposal for an integrative theoretical model

Abstract This article is intended to advance the reflections on the phenomena stress, retaliation and perception of injustice, and through the analysis of their interrelations, propose an integrating theoretical model. The literature has shown that the perception of injustice can be considered as a variable prior to occupational stress being developed and, in turn, retaliation becomes effective. Thus, the perception of injustice is considered the connection between occupational stress and retaliation. This relationship seems timely because both research relating to occupational stress and retaliation have perception of injustice as a relevant factor, but no available research to date, describes the theoretical articulation of these phenomena. After the demonstration model that integrates the phenomena, a research agenda is presented, which includes methodological and thematic perspectives.

摘要 本文旨在深化对压力、报复与不公感知三类现象的学术反思，通过剖析三者间的内在关联，提出一套整合式理论模型。现有研究文献表明，不公感知可被视为职业压力产生的前置变量，而报复行为亦会随之生效。据此，不公感知被视作职业压力与报复行为之间的联结纽带。该研究关系具备现实时效性：当前针对职业压力与报复行为的相关研究均将不公感知视为关键影响因素，但截至目前尚无研究对这三类现象的理论关联进行系统阐释。在完成该整合现象模型的论证后，本文还将提出包含方法论与主题研究视角在内的研究议程。
