SUMMARY:

Over time, the literature has shown, across different contexts, that perceptions of injustice may generate stress and, consequently, affect the balance between work and family demands. Seeking to better understand this triad within the context of a judicial organization, this study aims to evaluate the influence of Organizational Justice on Work–Family Conflict, mediated by Work Stress, within the Court of Justice of the State of Rondônia (TJRO), Brazil. Considering that TJRO judicial technicians are exposed to a high volume of performance targets and work-related pressures, investigating the relationship between organizational justice, work stress, and work–family conflict becomes essential for improving people management practices and promoting organizational well-being. This research adopts a quantitative, descriptive, and explanatory approach and was conducted through a survey using a structured questionnaire administered via Google Forms. The population consisted of permanent judicial technicians employed by TJRO, and the final sample comprised 310 valid responses. The data collection instrument employed scales previously validated in the literature, all measured using a five-point Likert scale. After data collection, the responses were analyzed using SmartPLS 4 software through Structural Equation Modeling (SEM), which enabled the testing of relationships among the constructs and the examination of the mediating role of work stress. The modeling results demonstrated that Organizational Justice had a negative influence on Work–Family Conflict (β = -0.239), indicating that higher perceptions of justice tend to reduce conflicts between professional and family demands. However, contrary to expectations derived from the literature, Organizational Justice exerted a positive influence on Work Stress (β = 0.620), while Work Stress showed a negative relationship with Work–Family Conflict (β = -0.171). Additionally, the indirect effect of Organizational Justice on Work–Family Conflict, mediated by Work Stress, was also significant (β = -0.106). The findings indicate that the institutional characteristics of the investigated context influence the dynamics among the analyzed variables, suggesting that perceptions of justice may coexist with high levels of work demands and performance pressure, while adaptation mechanisms contribute to reducing work interference in the family domain. It is concluded that Organizational Justice plays an important role in reducing Work–Family Conflict; however, its relationship with Work Stress differs from that traditionally reported in the literature. Therefore, the findings suggest that the observed relationships partially diverge from theoretical predictions, highlighting the influence of organizational context on the behavior of the variables and demonstrating that the proposed model represents an explanatory approximation of the studied reality. Thus, this study contributes to expanding the understanding of the relationships among organizational justice, work stress, and work–family conflict in the public sector, reinforcing the need for managerial and theoretical approaches that consider the specific characteristics of the organizational environments in which these phenomena occur.
