The current study aims to establish the relationship between perceived injustice,
work related depression, anxiety, irritation and turnover intention in the fast paced
manufacturing environment.
A cross-sectional survey using a convenience sampling method was used to collect
data from sample participants. Data were analysed from 168 questionnaire
administered to employees in a company that manufactures computer parts. Data
were computed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS), version
24. Correlation and regression analyses were conducted to establish the relationship
between perceived injustice, work related depression, anxiety, irritation and
turnover intention.
The study proved that perceived injustice was positively related to work-related
depression and work-related irritation, which in turn engendered the intention of
employees to quit the company. It is recommended that depression, anxiety and
irritation should be treated as diseases; hence, the need to train managers and
supervisors on mental health care practices and efficient and effective human
resource management practices in order to cater for the needs of employees in a
more equitable way. Other recommendations include liaising with professionals to
offer therapy and subjecting sufferers to rehabilitation.
