Abstract:

 What social members feel about the allocation of social resources is sense of social justice which is of great significance for the normal operation of society. In the perspective of economic sociology, the impact of social economic status and community integration on migrant workers’ sense of social justice is analyzed with the multivariate regression method. Social economic status is discussed in terms of subjective and objective social economic status, and community integration is divided in tothree dimensions: community identity, community communication and community participation. The results show that both subjective and objective social economic status of migrant workers have an impact on their sense of social justice; all three dimensions of community integration have statistical significance to migrant workers’ sense of justice: the higher the community identity of migrant workers, the more frequent contacts with local residents and the higher the frequency of offering advice or suggestions to the community organizations, the stronger the sense of their social justice. Finally, based on the research results, some countermeasures and suggestions to enhance migrant workers’sense of social justice are put forward.

Key words: social economic status, community integration, sense of social justice
