“…From the analyzed types of conflicts, the ones between managers and employees showed almost three times higher odds of sickness presenteeism. This is in line with the findings by Kim et al [ 41 ] that high interpersonal conflicts at work double presenteeism risk even if adjusted for general characteristics (age, gender, marriage status, smoking and drinking habits) and work-related characteristics (permitted sick leave, tenure, position, occupation, shift-work, employment type, and weekly working hours). Furthermore, our previous study about the impact of workplace conflicts on sickness absence pointed to a strong association between these particular types of conflicts and sickness absence [ 42 ].…”

The study’s objective was to investigate the associations between workplace conflicts and self-reported sickness presenteeism defined as going to work while being ill. Cross-sectional survey data pooled from four national surveys in years 2006, 2010, 2013 and 2018 with a study sample of 6368 employees (mean age 42.9 years and 52.9% females) were used. Respondents were randomly drawn from different regions and industries; therefore, the sample is representative of the working population of Latvia. The computer-assisted personal interviewing (CAPI) method was used to collect data at respondents’ places of residence. The associations between conflicts in the workplace and presenteeism were analyzed by using binomial logistic regression and calculated as odds ratios (ORs) with 95% confidence intervals (CIs) adjusted (aOR) for gender, age, education, and survey year. On average, 11% of respondents reported sickness presenteeism during the last year. The odds of presenteeism significantly increased for all types of workplace conflicts, but most for conflicts with managers (OR = 2.84). The odds of presenteeism doubled for those reporting conflicts with other employees (OR = 2.19) and conflicts with customers (OR = 1.85). The odds of sickness presenteeism were significantly higher if the workplace conflicts occurred often (seven times for conflicts between managers and employees, and four times for conflicts with customers) and with other employees. Presenteeism frequency increased more than three times if respondents had more than two types of conflict at work. The results of this study show that having any type of conflict in the workplace significantly increases the frequency of sickness presenteeism, especially when conflicts are frequent or an employee has more types of conflicts in the workplace. The study results justify the need to implement targeted and effective workplace conflict management measures at the organizational level to decrease sickness presenteeism.

“…Kim et al (2019) took a different approach, investigating workers' presenteeism with a focus on job-related stress, stratified by the presence of depression. When the model was fully adjusted by general and work-related characteristics, higher job demands and interpersonal conflict significantly elevated the odds of presenteeism in participants without depression but not in those with depression [23].…”

Productivity loss due to presenteeism accounts for a large proportion of economic losses caused by workers' health problems. To reduce presenteeism, it is necessary to identify its causes, but, in contrast to the large amount of research on the effects of diseases and lifestyles, there is not enough research on the effects of workrelated factors on presenteeism. In this study, those factors include the work environment and the work-related psychological status of workers. The purpose of this review was to identify research trends in presenteeism, defined as work-related productivity loss, and to examine future directions for presenteeism research. We conducted a search with only the keyword "presenteeism" using MEDLINE/PubMed for the last 5 years and extracted 30 relevant articles, most of which were cross-sectional studies. The articles were categorized into the following themes: 1) studies on the associations of various stress models and factors with presenteeism; 2) studies on the mediators and the pathways of association between stress factors and presenteeism; 3) studies on the relationships between organizational factors and presenteeism; and 4) studies on the link between workers' positive and negative psychological status and presenteeism. Our findings showed that, over the last 5 years, the relationship between psychological stress and presenteeism has been extended to include a variety of stress models and stressors. In addition, by putting many models and factors into a single statistical model and adjusting for their interrelationships, important factors have been examined by ensuring that a significant relationship with presenteeism remains. As there is still a lack of longitudinal studies necessary to discuss causality, more research of higher quality is needed.

“…Some studies suggest the combination of (perceived) high job demands and low job control may reduce WP among employees with CMHP (39,40,72). However, other studies contradict this suggestion (33,73). of (i) receiving social support from work and home, (ii) being motivated and feeling valued, (iii) experiencing freedom for active coping, and (iv) experiencing less symptoms and increased cognitive functioning.…”

This paper presents how work participation for employees with common mental health problems can be promoted through mechanisms and contextual factors in the workplace. Practical implications for employers concern multilevel interventions for teams and individuals, including short-term adjustments and social and practical support at work. We suggest professionals to assess and intervene on the presented set of capabilities rather than employee's mental health condition.
