Organizational climate and sleeping disorders: the mediation role of workplace conflicts’ impact

Summary/Abstract: Sleep deprivation is one of the most important health problem in modern society and evidenced so far, on Romanian employees, have shown that 74% of them have been diagnosed with sleeping disorders (About Sleep Disorders, 2016). Despite this evidence, little attention has been given to the role of organizational factors and to the effects of workplace conflicts in triggering sleeping disorders among Romanian employees. The present empirical research addresses the relationship between organizational climate, the impact of workplace conflicts and employees’ sleeping disorders. 151 Romanian employees (101/66.88% - female and 44/29.13% - male) participated at the present study by completing, in paper-pencil format, the questionnaires measuring organizational climate, workplace conflicts and sleeping disorders. The results showed that lower levels of organizational support, justice, decisions and assessment are correlated with sleeping disorders and workplace conflicts. Moreover, the direct relationship between organizational climate and sleeping disorders can be better understood when the impact of workplace conflicts is introduced as a mediator. The present study emphasize on the importance of understanding the role of workplace conflicts in employees’ sleeping disorders and helps human resources professional to develop more efficient training programs designed to improve employees social competences (i.e. offering social support to their colleagues experiencing symptoms of sleeping disorders) and to increase knowledge referring to poor organizational climate-sleeping disorders relationship.
