Also ‘unjust treatment’ and ‘anxiety(of health)’ are affecting factors significantly at p<0.1. Research Implications &#8211; Managerial implications are as follow. Firstly, employers have to reduce ‘interpersonal trouble in company’, ‘unjust wage’ and ‘unjust treatment’. Secondly, gonernment have to support to reduce ‘bottleneck to life’ and ‘anxiety(of health)’. Academic implications are as follow.
