Abstract: This study delves into how job demands, resources, and workplace biases affect fairness perceptions in the workplace. A mixed-method approach involving exploratory factor analysis and structural equation modelling (SEM), specifically PLS-SEM, was employed. Results show that job resources can alleviate the adverse effects of job demands on fairness perceptions. Both job and personal resources were found to significantly influence workplace biases, which in turn affect fairness perceptions. The study underscores the vital role of these resources in reducing biases and enhancing fairness. It provides key insights for fostering equitable, bias-free work environments, underscoring the importance of mutual respect and transparent communication for organisational justice. The findings are pivotal for strategies aimed at improving employee well-being and productivity through enhanced fairness in the workplace.

Keywords: workplace fairness; organisational justice; job demands; job resources; personal resources; psychological bias; political bias; structural equation modelling.
