Smoking and Its Impacts on Absenteeism and Stress: A Preliminary Study

Abstract

The article highlights a preliminary study on smoking and its impact on absenteeism and stress in the work place. The article also includes an application of the Theory of Planned Behaviour in explaining the behavior of smoking. The Theory of Planned Behavior which was proposed by Icek Ajzen is used to predict an individual’s behavioural control and intention which are influenced by attitude and social norms to perform a behaviour. This article also discusses previous researches done on smoking and its relationship with absenteeism and stress among employees in organizations.

“…Então, os nanoadsorventes magnéticos carregados com os poluentes são fortemente atraídos pelos fios da lã de aço e ficam aderidos à sua superfície, permitindo a passagem do efluente livre de poluentes 71 . Esse processo, conhecido como separação magnética de alto gradiente, permite a geração de campos magnéticos com gradientes superiores a 10 4 T/m, produzindo forças intensas o suficiente para capturar nanopartículas magnéticas em fluxos de efluentes com elevada vazão 72 .…”
