This study measures the effect of case management interview (CMI) on 1,000 long-term sick-listed employees' probability of returning to work. In contrast to previous studies, we use instrumental variables to correct for selection effects in CMI. Using a competing hazard rate model, we find that CMI increases the probability of returning to work for the pre-sick leave employer, but has no effect on the probability of resuming work for a new employer. We argue that CMI either motivates the sick-listed employees to resume work or adjusts for asymmetric information between the employee and the pre-sick leave employer.
本研究衡量了病例管理面谈（CMI）对1000名长期病假员工重返工作岗位概率的影响。与以往研究不同的是，我们使用工具变量来校正CMI中的选择效应。通过竞争风险率模型，我们发现CMI提高了病假前雇主处员工重返工作岗位的概率，但对新雇主处员工恢复工作的概率没有影响。我们认为，CMI要么激励病假员工恢复工作，要么调整员工与病假前雇主之间的信息不对称。
