The influence of distributive and procedural justice on work-family conflict, enrichment, and mental health of Indian police

Employing the conservation of resources theory as a theoretical framework, the present research investigates a model that studies the influence of distributive and procedural justice on work-family conflict, work-family enrichment, and mental health. The model also evaluates the impact of work-family conflict and enrichment on mental health. The purposive sampling technique and a survey instrument were used to collect data from Rajasthan (India) police and analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results indicate that perceptions of justice (distributive and procedural) reduce work-family conflict and foster work-family enrichment in the police. Additionally, work-family conflict and enrichment predict mental health. The results further suggest the mediating mechanisms of work-family conflict and enrichment between distributive (partial), procedural (full) justice, and mental health.
