Sickness Presenteeism

Short Description: The counterpart of sickness absence is known as presenteeism, defined as going to work despite illness. Presenteeism is an emerging research topic and research is still needed to investigate the antecedents and consequences of presenteeism. Moreover, in future we can observe the long-term consequences of presenteeism on health and contribute to the existing research.

Methodological Details: One self-report item, namely “How many days have you gone to work in 2014, although you have been ill or did not feel well?”
