Document Summary
Subjective well-being has three components: life satisfaction, positive affect, and the relative absence of negative affect. Positive functioning and actualization of potentials include: autonomy, personal growth, self- acceptance, life purpose, environmental mastery, and positive relations with others: organizational justice. Something is fair or just not because it should be so, but because some person or persons believe it to be. The 6 justice rules are: accuracy, representativeness, bias suppression, consistency, ethicality, and correctability. Two categories of interactional justice perceptions: respect and dignity, and the adequacy and completeness of information: social support. Comparison to an internalized norm: referencing a moral standard (expectations held within ourselves) When unchecked, these discrepancies may lead to dissatisfaction, unhappiness, and stress: workplace bullying. Workplace bullying involves repeated forms of negative/hostile behaviours occurring over time, which may involve offending, harassing, excluding, or negatively affecting the work tasks of individuals targeted. Bullying within the workplace is common and can be physical, psychological or social.
