This study investigated whether experience of workplace injustice was associated with self-reported occupational health using a nationally representative sample of Korean workers.
We used the first wave of the Korean Working Conditions Survey (KWCS) and included 7,007 wage employees as the study population. Workplace injustice included the experience of discrimination, violence, or harassment, and occupational health was measured as self-reported health problems and absenteeism. Personal, occupational, and job-related characteristics were included as covariates.
An average of 7.2% of workers reported experiencing at least one workplace injustice over the past 12 months. Female workers were significantly more likely to experience age and gender discrimination, and unwanted sexual attention than male workers. Both male and female workers who experienced any workplace injustice (i.e., discrimination, harassment, or violence) reported approximately two- to threefold increased risk for physical and mental health problems (i.e., backaches, muscular pain, stomach pain, overall fatigue, headaches, anxiety/depression, sleeping problems, and injury) and absenteeism due to accidents or due to health problems.
Perceived injustice at work was significantly associated with an increased risk of occupational disease and absenteeism for Korean wage employees.
本研究使用韩国工人的全国代表性样本，调查工作场所不公正经历是否与自我报告的职业健康相关。
我们使用了韩国工作条件调查（KWCS）的第一轮数据，将7007名受薪员工纳入研究人群。工作场所不公正包括歧视、暴力或骚扰经历，职业健康通过自我报告的健康问题和旷工情况来衡量。个人、职业和与工作相关的特征作为协变量纳入。
平均7.2%的工人报告在过去12个月中至少经历过一次工作场所不公正。与男性工人相比，女性工人更有可能经历年龄和性别歧视以及不必要的性关注。经历过任何工作场所不公正（即歧视、骚扰或暴力）的男性和女性工人报告，出现身体和心理健康问题（即背痛、肌肉疼痛、胃痛、全身疲劳、头痛、焦虑/抑郁、睡眠问题和受伤）以及因事故或健康问题旷工的风险增加了约两到三倍。
对于韩国受薪员工而言，工作中感知到的不公正与职业病风险增加和旷工显著相关。
