Abstract
The employees well-being has been a growing concern amongst organizations as it would affect the employees satisfaction towards his or her jobs, and would affect an individual’s psychological and physical well being. The well-being of an employee is important as it affects the quality of an individual’s life and his or her physical and psychological well-being. The ability to promote a feeling of well-being is of considerable benefit not only to employees in the community but also to the employer’s bottom line. The psychological and physical well-being of employees and their satisfaction with their work and workplace would affect the organizational citizenship at work, and turnover rates. The relationship between organizational justice (procedural justice, distributive justice, informational justice, and interpersonal justice) and well being was studied to investigate the effect it has on the well-being of employees. The impact of individualism-collectivism and power distance on the above relationship were also examined. Direct and interactive effects on well being were predicted by using data collected from 197 respondents who work in manufacturing firms in Bayan Baru, Penang. Findings revealed that only distributive justice and interactional justice (which consists of informational justice and interpersonal justice) were positively related to the employee’s well-being.
