Abstract(s)
As pesquisas anteriores apontam a crença pessoal no
mundo justo (CMJ) como um recurso que ajuda as
pessoas a assimilarem as injustiças da sua vida e
portanto, a reagirem menos negativamente face a estas.
O presente estudo examinou o impacto da crença
pessoal no mundo justo na relação entre a (in) justiça
procedimental e distributiva e as reacções a acontecimentos
problemáticos no contexto de trabalho.
Concretamente, pretendeu-se avaliar se a CMJ
moderava essa relação. Foi aplicado um questionário a
84 professores de vários níveis de ensino, com idades
entre os 24 e os 56 anos em que se lhes pedia que se
imaginassem numa situação de (in)justiça procedimental
e distributiva. No geral, os resultados mostraram
que perante a injustiça procedimental os participantes
que têm alta CMJ reagem mais positivamente (com
mais paciência) comparativamente com os que têm
baixa CMJ. Contudo, os participantes com CMJ alta
reagiram à injustiça procedimental mais negativamente
(negligência e voz agressiva) comparativamente com
aqueles que tinham baixa CMJ. As implicações teóricas
e práticas desta pesquisa são discutidas.
Previous research indicates the belief in a just world (BJW) is a resource which helps people assimilate injustice and therefore to react less negatively when they face it. The present study examined the impact of personal BJW on the relation between procedural and distributive (in) justice and the reactions to problematic events in the work context. Specifically, we tested whether BJW moderates this relation. Eighty-four teachers of various levels of education, aged between 24 and 56 years, answered to a questionnaire which asked them to imagine themselves in a situation of procedural and distributive (in)justice. Overall, the results showed that when facing procedural injustice, the participants with high BJW reacted more positively (with more patience) comparatively with those with low BJW. However, the participants with high BJW reacted to procedural injustice more negatively (neglect and aggressive voice) when compared with low BJW participants. Theoretical and practical implications of these findings are discussed.
