Abstract

Background and Aims: Perceived organizational justice may influence nurses' workplace alienation. This study examined the relationship between perceived organizational justice and workplace alienation among nurses in Northern Saudi Arabia.

Methods: A descriptive cross‐sectional study was conducted among 183 nurses working in government hospitals in the Al‐Jouf region, Saudi Arabia. Participants completed the Colquitt Organizational Justice Scale and the Work Alienation Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation, group‐comparison tests, and simple linear regression.

Results: Mean perceived organizational justice was 4.04 (SD, 0.39) and mean workplace alienation was 2.71 (SD, 0.47), each scored from 1 to 5. Perceived organizational justice was inversely associated with workplace alienation (r=−0.455, p<0.001). Perceived organizational justice explained 20.7% of the variance in workplace alienation (R2=0.207, p<0.001).

Conclusion: Higher perceived organizational justice was associated with lower workplace alienation among nurses. Longitudinal research is needed to examine temporal and causal relationships.
