“…The improvement of WSC could possibly reduce presenteeism and SA, but few studies have examined the relationships between WSC and presenteeism and SA, and whether health factors affect these relationships. To the best of our knowledge, only two previous studies have examined the relationship between WSC and presenteeism, and a negative dose-response relationship was observed [50,51]. Several previous studies have examined the relationship between WSC and SA, but the results are inconsistent; although multiple studies have found an association between higher WSC and lower SA [52][53][54], another study reported a non-significant relationship between WSC and SA [55].…”

“…Thus, it is necessary to investigate whether health status affects the relationship between horizontal WSC and presenteeism, and that between horizontal WSC and SA. Previous studies have shown that subjective health and job stress influence the relationship between WSC and presenteeism [50,51], but the effects of mental health on the relationship between WSC and presenteeism, and on that between WSC and SA, have not been examined. As WSC is an important resource for the promotion of mental health and can reduce stress [55], high WSC might be expected to reduce presenteeism and SA that result from mental health problems.…”

Greater workplace social capital (WSC) can be related to workers' health and productivity. We sought to clarify the association between horizontal WSC and presenteeism and sickness absence (SA) and to examine the effects of psychological distress on these associations among Japanese workers. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2017 at seven large Japanese companies. Logistic regression analysis was performed with presenteeism and SA as the dependent variables, horizontal WSC as an independent variable, and sociodemographic characteristics and psychological distress as covariates. After adjustment for sociodemographic characteristics, the results showed that greater horizontal WSC was associated with lower presenteeism and SA. The odds ratios for the relationship between horizontal WSC and presenteeism and that between horizontal WSC and SA dropped moderately after adjustment for psychological distress but remained significant. Further exploration of the factors underlying the relationship between WSC and productivity is needed to confirm if WSC enhances workers' health and productivity and to inform the development of effective occupational health initiatives.

“…Workplace social capital (WSC) comprises mutual benefit, mutual respect and trust, participation in collective action and work networks, and the credibility of the leadership among the employees of a work unit. Zhu et al (2018) reported that high individual-level WSC and workplace-level WSC were negatively associated with absolute presenteeism after including all individual and workplace-level variables, such as working years, job stress, self-rated health, and socioeconomic characteristics [30]. In the DCS model, supervisor support and coworker support are known predictors of presenteeism.…”

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.

“…In 2013, a study on 718 employees in two Dutch companies found that organizational social capital was significantly associated with two health indicators (namely perceived health and emotional exhaustion) which were in turn associated with presenteeism [21]. In 2018, a multilevel study in China further demonstrated that workplace social capital at individual-level and workplace-level were both negatively associated with presenteeism [25].…”

Background: This study investigated the association between presenteeism and the perceived availability of social support among hospital doctors in China. Methods: A questionnaire was administered by doctors randomly selected from 13 hospital in Hangzhou China using stratified sampling. Logit model was used for data analysis. Results: The overall response rate was 88.16%. Among hospital doctors, for each unit increase of the perceived availability of social support, the prevalence of presenteeism was decreased by 8.3% (OR = 0.91, P = 0.000). In particular, if the doctors perceived availability of appraisal support, belonging support and tangible support as sufficient, the act of presenteeism was reduced by 20.2% (OR = 0.806, P = 0.000) 20.4% (OR = 0.803, P = 0.000) and 21.0% (OR = 0.799, P = 0.000) respectively with statistical differences. Conclusion: In China, appraisal support, belonging support and tangible support, compared to other social support, had a stronger negative correlation with presenteeism among hospital doctors. The benefits of social support in alleviating doctors' presenteeism warrant further investigation.
