Organizational justice has recently attracted attention as a predictor of employee mental and physical health. However, the lack of a Japanese translation of the original English-language organizational justice scale (OJS) has precluded its application in Japan. The present study aimed to develop Japanese version of the measure of organizational justice. We translated the original questionnaire, which is comprised of 20 items, from English to Japanese. The OJS is made up of four distinct dimensions: procedural, distributive, interpersonal and information justice. A total of 229 employees responded to the Japanese version of the OJS (OJS-J), the effort-reward imbalance (ERI) model and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10). To assess construct validity, we recorded job satisfaction using the visual analog scale (VAS). Our exploratory factor analysis supported the four-factor structure model of OJS-J. Correlation coefficients between the OJS-J and ERI, K10 and VAS were statistically significant, indicating a reasonable degree of construct validity. Obtained internal consistency was markedly high (Cronbach's alpha was 0.96), and test-retest reliability as analyzed with an intraclass correlation coefficient was 0.91. These results suggest that the OJS-J is a reliable and valid measure that may be suitable for use as a predictor of employee health in the Japanese work place.
组织公平性最近作为员工心理和身体健康的预测因素引起了关注。然而，由于缺乏原始英文组织公平量表（OJS）的日语翻译，因此无法在日本应用。本研究旨在开发该量表的日语版本。我们将原本由 20 个项目组成的问卷从英文翻译成了日文。OJS 由四个不同的维度组成：程序、分配、人际和信息公平。共有 229 名员工对组织公平量表的日语版（OJS-J）、努力-回报失衡（ERI）模型和凯斯勒心理困扰量表（K10）进行了回应。为了评估结构效度，我们使用视觉模拟量表（VAS）记录了工作满意度。我们的探索性因素分析支持 OJS-J 的四因素结构模型。OJS-J 与 ERI、K10 和 VAS 之间的相关系数具有统计学意义，表明具有合理程度的结构效度。获得的内部一致性非常高（Cronbach 的 alpha 为 0.96），通过组内相关系数分析的重测信度为 0.91。这些结果表明，OJS-J 是一种可靠且有效的测量工具，可能适合作为日本工作场所员工健康的预测因素。
