“…In addition, future research should utilize scientific assessments and adopt a combined study design to examine the relationships and mechanism of interaction between presenteeism and its antecedents and outcomes. What is also significant both in nurse presenteeism practice and theory is to explore the social context of presenteeism and possible spill over dynamics occurring across levels and domains ( 25 ). A clear understanding of the underlying factors of presenteeism would allow for the development of scientific and robust strategies to help prevent and to reduce presenteeism among nurses.…”

“…Furthermore, previous literature has shown that organizational context plays an important role in presenteeism, and a supportive work climate tends to reduce the tendency of presenteeism ( 25 , 26 ). For example, Wang et al ( 46 ) found that the contextual factor leader-member exchange was positively related to presenteeism by increasing employees' approach motivation of presenteeism.…”

Presenteeism refers to the behavior of people who turn up for work despite complaints of ill health that should prompt rest and absence from work. The high incidence of presenteeism in the nurse population has been extensively investigated using self-reported methods to explore its effects on individual outcomes. However, few studies have examined nurse presenteeism using an “other's” perspective to verify self-reported information. Our aim in this study was to evaluate the prevalence, consequences, and causes of presenteeism in Chinese nurses from the perspectives of nurses and chief nurses. A sample of 481 nurses and 282 chief nurses from five hospitals in Henan Province, China, took part in this cross-sectional study. Participants completed the Sickness Presenteeism Questionnaire, Social Productivity Loss Questionnaire, and Causes of Nurse Presenteeism Questionnaire. The human capital method was used to estimate the monetary loss because of nurse presenteeism. We found that 94.25 and 82.08% of nurses experienced presenteeism in the past 6 months from the perspective of nurses and chief nurses, respectively. The annual monetary loss was estimated to be ¥4.38 billion and ¥2.88 billion based on the presenteeism reports from nurses and chief nurses, respectively. Workload, leave system, and conscientiousness are the main reasons for nurse presenteeism, and financial need is another important reason that is likely overlooked by chief nurses. This study provides a foundation for future research by presenting new knowledge about the prevalence, consequences, and causes of presenteeism in Chinese nurses. The findings emphasize the need for nursing managers and nursing departments to establish policy systems around paid sick leave, workload, and communication with managers to reduce nurse presenteeism and the subsequent socio-economic financial losses.

“…Alternatively, an ill employee may stay home but essentially work a full day remotely, representing another hybrid behavior, perhaps labeled "remote presenteeism." Acknowledging this range of possible behaviors, Miraglia and Johns (2020) note that presenteeism "represents a much-occupied but only recently studied state between being absent (and ostensibly exhibiting no productivity) and fully productive work engagement" (p. 261).…”

“…Many researchers view these phenomena as connected (e.g., Caverley et al, 2007 ; Bierla et al, 2013 ; Deery et al, 2014 ; Garrow, 2016 ) not only because of their high statistical correlation ( Johns, 2010 ), but also because both attendance behaviors relate to the employees’ health (e.g., Demerouti et al, 2009 ; Hansen and Andersen, 2009 ; Janssens et al, 2013 ; Skagen and Collins, 2016 ). Further, they have a major economic impact for organizations due to reduced productivity ( Collins et al, 2005 ; Iverson et al, 2010 ; Warren et al, 2011 ; Vanni et al, 2017 ) and disruption of work processes ( Gosselin et al, 2013 ; Strömberg et al, 2017 ; Miraglia and Johns, 2021 ).…”

“…The majority of empirical studies has focused on the identification of correlates of the attendance phenomena (e.g., Johns, 2011 ; Miraglia and Johns, 2016 , 2021 ) while little research has been done to understand the individual’s psychological processes leading to the decision to attend work or not in case of illness ( Gosselin, 2018 ). Interestingly, sickness absenteeism and sickness presenteeism research has mainly developed along parallel paths although the phenomena are the result of a complex decision-making process that rules out the other alternative ( Johns, 2010 ; Halbesleben et al, 2014 ; Lohaus and Habermann, 2019 ).…”

Due to their impact on various stakeholder groups, research on the global phenomena of sickness presenteeism (working despite illness) and sickness absenteeism (absence due to illness) is constantly growing. Most studies focus on identifying factors associated with the attendance behaviors. In contrast, there have been few theoretical approaches to explain the individual decision-making process for or against working while ill. Moreover, their empirical verification is still pending. In the present study, we refer to expectancy theory to theoretically explain how the decision is made. To empirically test the model predictions we applied experimental vignette methodology in an online survey with working adults. The hypotheses were confirmed in that the calculated and predicted decisions significantly matched the intentionally chosen decisions. The results contribute to a better theoretical understanding of the decision-making process and provide starting points for interventions to manage attendance behavior in organizations.
