Abstract:
Several studies have shown the association between the fairness of the treatment received and sleep (e.g. Kim et al., 2010). However, several questions remain about that relationship. Firstly, whereas sleep is considered in most of these studies as a mediator between justice and health outcomes, little is known on the underlying mechanisms linking justice and sleep. In our study, we explore if emotions can explain why people who are treated unfairly sleep poorly. Additionally, we investigate if optimistic individuals will suffer more in terms of negative emotions from being treated unfairly. Results from a 10 days diary study involving 220 employees confirm our hypotheses.
