This study aimed to assess whether self-reported productivity despite presenteeism may be affected by biomarkers and hormones and how these physiological indicators can interact with each other to explain the presenteeism dimensions.
This pilot study included 180 healthy participants with a mean age of 41.22 years (SD = 13.58), 76.11% of whom were female. The dependent variable included a self-reported measure of productivity loss due to presenteeism: the Stanford Presenteeism Scale 6. This study also includes physiological indicators such as biomarkers (C-reactive protein (CRP) and blood glucose) and hormones (cortisol and TSH thyroid hormone).
Multiple linear regression analyses revealed that CRP moderated the relationship between cortisol levels and productivity despite presenteeism. Moreover, the increase of TSH moderated the relationship between cortisol, glycemia, and employees' capacity to complete work tasks while sick.
The results highlight TSH's moderating role in decreasing employees' capacity to fulfill tasks when these individuals have high levels of glycemia and cortisol in their blood. These findings have practical and theoretical implications based on a fuller understanding of how biomarkers and hormones explain productivity despite presenteeism.
本研究旨在评估自我报告的出勤时生产力是否可能受到生物标志物和激素的影响，以及这些生理指标如何相互作用以解释出勤时生产力的各个维度。
这项初步研究纳入了 180 名平均年龄为 41.22 岁（标准差=13.58）的健康参与者，其中 76.11%为女性。因出勤而导致的生产力损失的因变量包括自我报告的测量：斯坦福出勤量表 6。本研究还包括生理指标，如生物标志物（C 反应蛋白（CRP）和血糖）和激素（皮质醇和促甲状腺激素甲状腺激素）。
多元线性回归分析显示，CRP 调节了皮质醇水平与出勤时生产力之间的关系。此外，TSH 的增加调节了皮质醇、血糖与员工在患病时完成工作任务的能力之间的关系。
这些结果突出了 TSH 在降低高血糖和高皮质醇个体完成任务能力方面的调节作用。这些发现基于对生物标志物和激素如何解释出勤时生产力的更全面理解，具有实际和理论意义。
