“…The average scores of absolute and relative presenteeism measures in this study were close to those reported in a previous study from Japan 22) . However, the scores were lower than those reported in a previous study in the United States, in which median scores of absolute presenteeism were between 80 and 90 among four different sample of workers 6) .…”

The aim of the study was to investigate test-retest reliability and construct validity of the World Mental Health Japan (WMHJ) version of WHO-HPQ according the COSMIN standard. We conducted two consecutive surveys of 102 full-time employees recruited through an Internet survey company in Japan, with a two-week interval in 2018. We calculated Pearson's correlation (r) of measures of the WHO-HPQ with other presenteeism scales (SPS, WFun, and perceived relative presenteeism), health and psychosocial job conditions. We tested the test-retest reliability (intraclass correlation, ICC) among those who reported no change of job performance during the follow-up. Among 92 (90%) respondents, the absolute presenteeism significantly correlated with WFun and perceived relative presenteeism (r= -0.341 and -0.343, respectively, p<0.01) and psychological distress (r=-0.247, p=0.018). The absolute/relative absenteeism did not significantly correlate with the covariates. The test-retest reliability over a two-week period was high for the WHO-HPQ absolute presenteeism (ICC, 0.73), while those for absolute/relative absenteeism measures were moderate. The study found an adequate level of test-retest reliability, but limited support for the construct validity of the absolute presenteeism measure of the WMHJ version of the WHO-HPQ. Further research is needed to investigate the construct validity of the WHO-HPQ measures in a larger sample.

“…A number of studies have used the HPQ successfully in populations with specific health conditions such as workers with migraine, depression and mental health problems. This study showed that the HPQ could also be used to ascertain work outcomes among people with arthritis through exploring its’ construct validity(4,5). Since evaluating construct validity of is an ongoing process, this study initiated the process of ascertaining the validity the HPQ as a measure of work functioning among people with arthritis and other rheumatological conditions.…”

“…The HPQ is a promising tool used to ascertain work outcomes among people with chronic conditions such as depression and traumatic brain injury (4,5). The tool has established validity and reliability among populations of people with and without chronic conditions (4–6); however, its psychometric properties have not been tested among people with arthritis.…”

Objective To evaluate construct validity and scoring methods of the world health organization- health and work performance questionnaire (HPQ) for people with arthritis. Methods Construct validity was examined through hypothesis testing using the recommended guidelines of the Consensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement Instruments (COSMIN). Results The HPQ using the absolute scoring method showed moderate construct validity as 4 of the 7 hypotheses were met. The HPQ using the relative scoring method had weak construct validity as only one of the 7 hypotheses were met. Conclusion The absolute scoring method for the HPQ is superior in construct validity to the relative scoring method in assessing work performance among people with arthritis and related rheumatic conditions; however, more research is needed to further explore other psychometric properties of the HPQ.

Objectives The aims of the study were to investigate the association between working hours, work engagement, and work productivity, and to examine if work engagement moderates the influence of working hours on work productivity. Methods We used cross‐sectional data from the Japanese occupational cohort survey, which involved 2093 employees in a manufacturing industry. Working hours were self‐reported by the study participants. Work productivity was assessed with absolute presenteeism based on the scale of the validated Japanese version of World Health Organization Health and Work Performance Questionnaire (WHO‐HPQ). Work engagement was assessed with the Nine‐item Utrecht work Engagement Scale (UWES‐9). Univariate and multivariable regression analyses were conducted to examine the association of working hours and work engagement with work productivity. We also carried out stratified multivariable regression analysis separately for those with high‐work engagement and those with low‐work engagement. Results Working >40 to 50 hours per week and >50 hours per week were significantly positively associated with work productivity in univariate analysis. However, the significant association no longer held after adjusting for work engagement. Work engagement was positively associated with work productivity even after controlling for potential confounders. Working hours were not significantly associated with work productivity among those with high‐work engagement or among those with low‐work engagement. Conclusions Working hours did not have any significant associations with work productivity when taking work engagement into account. Work engagement did not moderate the influence of working hours on work productivity, though it attenuated the relationship between working hours and work productivity.
