Presenteeism-going to work while ill-is a widespread phenomenon worldwide. Previous research has concentrated mainly on its negative effects. This study investigates the positive consequences of presenteeism derived from a comprehensive content model of presenteeism that was developed on the basis of negative effects. In a quantitative online-survey employees ( = 181) rated the degree of experienced or potential positive effects depending on whether they had worked while ill (75%) or not (25%) during the previous year. Results revealed that all postulated positive effects described in the content model were relevant. Most positive effects were rated significantly higher by participants who had shown presenteeism in comparison to those who had not. The positive effects significantly predicted presenteeism propensity (adjusted = 0.20) for participants having shown presenteeism. In addition, an overall rating of positive effects was significantly related to presenteeism, however, to a lesser degree. Overall, the results demonstrate the applicability of the content model to positive effects of presenteeism. They point to the need for further investigation of them and their consideration for the management of presenteeism.
带病出勤——生病时仍坚持工作——是一种在全球范围内普遍存在的现象。以往的研究主要集中在其负面影响上。本研究基于一个在负面影响基础上发展起来的全面的带病出勤内容模型，探讨了带病出勤的积极后果。在一项定量在线调查中，181名员工根据他们上一年是否带病工作（75%）或未带病工作（25%），对所经历的或潜在的积极影响程度进行了评分。结果显示，内容模型中描述的所有假定积极影响都是相关的。与未表现出带病出勤的参与者相比，表现出带病出勤的参与者对大多数积极影响的评分显著更高。对于表现出带病出勤的参与者，这些积极影响显著预测了带病出勤倾向（调整后R² = 0.20）。此外，积极影响的总体评分与带病出勤显著相关，不过程度较小。总体而言，结果证明了内容模型对带病出勤积极影响的适用性。它们指出需要对这些影响进行进一步研究，并在管理带病出勤时加以考虑。
