This paper synthesizes research on the contribution of workplace injustices to occupational health disparities.
We conducted a broad review of research and other reports on the impact of workplace discrimination, harassment, and bullying on workers' health and on family and job outcomes.
Members of demographic minority groups are more likely to be victims of workplace injustice and suffer more adverse outcomes when exposed to workplace injustice compared to demographic majority groups. A growing body of research links workplace injustice to poor psychological and physical health, and a smaller body of evidence links workplace injustice to unhealthy behaviors. Although not as well studied, studies show that workplace injustice can influence workers' health through effects on workers' family life and job-related outcomes.
Injustice is a key contributor to occupational health injustice and prospective studies with oversample of disadvantaged workers and refinement of methods for characterizing workplace injustices are needed.
本文综合了关于职场不公正对职业健康差异影响的研究。
我们广泛回顾了关于职场歧视、骚扰和欺凌对工人健康以及家庭和工作成果影响的研究及其他报告。
与人口统计学上的多数群体相比，少数群体成员更有可能成为职场不公正的受害者，并且在遭受职场不公正时会承受更多不良后果。越来越多的研究将职场不公正与心理和身体健康不佳联系起来，还有较少的证据将职场不公正与不健康行为联系起来。尽管研究较少，但研究表明职场不公正可通过对工人家庭生活和与工作相关成果的影响来影响工人健康。
不公正现象是职业健康不公正的关键促成因素，需要开展以弱势工人为过采样对象的前瞻性研究，并完善描述职场不公正现象的方法。
