Previous studies supported the relationship between perceived organizational injustice and counterproductive behaviors at work, and in the current research the emphasis is on the explanatory mechanism of alienation. This study aims to investigate whether work alienation could be a potential mediator in the relationship between the two constructs. In an attempt to research an explanatory mechanism that is less addressed in the literature, a non-experimental cross-sectional study was conducted, based on a sample of 145 participants from different industries. The statistical analysis’ results indicated that perceived organizational injustice is a significant predictor of counterproductive behavior. Furthermore, workplace alienation has completely mediated the relationship between perceived organizational injustice and employees’ counterproductive behaviors. These findings reiterate the role and importance of employees' perceptions of organizational justice in the emergence and possible reduction of counterproductive behaviors that are detrimental to both the organization and individuals. The data obtained also supported a possible explanatory mechanism of their relationship.

Although the beneficial effect of trust on individual and organizational variables is empirical welldocumented,the researchers have given less attention to its moderator role in the stressorsreactionsto stress relationship. Thus, the purpose of this study is to examine the moderator roleof trust in supervisor and in organization in the relationship between eight occupational stressorsand stress reactions represented by the employees’ counterproductive work behaviors andemotions. Data were obtained from 192 employees. The results have shown that trust insupervisor negatively predicted organizational (ß= -.30, p<.01) and interpersonalcounterproductive work behavior (ß= -.24, p<.05). Trust in organization is a negative predictor ofinterpersonal counterproductive behaviors (β= -.44, p<.01) and a positive predictor of employees’positive emotions (β= .40, p<.01). The two forms of organizational trust did not moderate therelationship between the occupational stressors and the organizational counterproductive workbehavior (F(16.161)= 1.12, p>.05) and the positive emotions of employees (F(16.161) = 1.19,p>.05). Trust in supervisor moderates only the relationship between the daily hassles as anoccupational stressors and the counterproductive behavior directed to persons (β= -.36, p<.01)and trust in organization moderates the relationship between the organizational climate and theinterpersonal counterproductive behavior (β= -.27, p<.01). The results indicate that organizationaltrust can have a beneficial role on employees’ work behaviors and emotions, even in conditionsin which they perceive high levels of occupational stress.

Background: Deliberate self-harm (DSH) occurs with high frequency among clinical and nonclinical youth populations. Although depression has been consistently linked with the behavior, not all depressed individuals engage in DSH. Aims: The current study examined maladaptive coping strategies (i.e., self-blame, distancing, and self-isolation) as mediators between depression and DSH among undergraduate students. Methods: 202 students from undergraduate psychology courses at a private university in Southern California (77.7% women) completed anonymous self-report measures. Results: A hierarchical regression model found no differences in DSH history across demographic variables. Among coping variables, self-isolation alone was significantly related to DSH. A full meditational model was supported: Depressive symptoms were significantly related to DSH, but adding self-isolation to the model rendered the relationship nonsignificant. Limitations: The cross-sectional study design prevents determination of whether a casual relation exists between self-isolation and DSH, and obscures the direction of that relationship. Conclusions: Results suggest targeting self-isolation as a means of DSH prevention and intervention among nonclinical, youth populations.
