Absenteeism and presenteeism refer to loss in productivity related to sick leave and illness, respectively, which affect physical and mental health. We examined the association between presenteeism/absenteeism and level of well-being among Korean workers.
We analyzed data from 44,019 participants who completed the 2017 Korean Working Conditions Survey. The World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) was used to screen the well-being level. We examined the association between presenteeism/absenteeism and level of well-being using multiple linear regression.
WHO-5 scores were lower among workers who experienced presenteeism or absenteeism than those who experienced neither (presenteeism: β = -1.011, P < 0.0001, absenteeism: β = -0.403, P < 0.0001).
Presenteeism and absenteeism were associated with lower level of well-being. We suggest that their management is important for maintaining the health of Koreans.
旷工和出勤主义分别指与病假和疾病相关的生产力损失,会影响身心健康。我们考察了韩国劳动者的出勤主义/旷工与幸福感水平之间的关系。
我们分析了完成 2017 年韩国工作条件调查的 44019 名参与者的数据。使用世界卫生组织幸福感指数(WHO-5)筛查幸福感水平。我们使用多元线性回归考察了出勤主义/旷工与幸福感水平之间的关系。
经历出勤主义或旷工的劳动者的 WHO-5 评分低于既无出勤主义也无旷工的劳动者(出勤主义:β=-1.011,P<0.0001,旷工:β=-0.403,P<0.0001)。
出勤主义和旷工与较低的幸福感水平相关。我们建议,管理出勤主义和旷工对维护韩国人的健康很重要。
