“…Institutions differ from context to context; in other words, there is no general set of accepted institutions that is applicable to all instances of a particular behavior. The cost-benefit model tells us that individuals are rational beings who carefully calculate the pros and cons of personal decisions (Pearce, 1984;Margalit, 2011). The model assumes that rational decision-makers act in order to maximize their expected utility such that they will consequently cease an activity when they estimate that its costs exceed its benefits.…”

Previous research has not clearly studied how the effects of emotional job demands on absenteeism likelihood are moderated by the contingent absenteeism-related regulatory institutional environments of low-income countries. In this regard, we surveyed 487 healthcare workers in a low-income country in order to test for the effect of emotional job demands on healthcare workers' absenteeism likelihood. We also explored the mediating role of work engagement and the contingent role of context-specific regulatory institutional environments on the link between emotional job demands and absenteeism likelihood. The main findings of this study are as follows: (1) emotional job demands have a direct positive effect on healthcare workers' absenteeism likelihood, (2) work engagement plays a mediating role on the link between emotional job demands and healthcare workers' absenteeism likelihood, and (3) the regulatory institutional environment related to absenteeism moderates the negative link between work engagement and absenteeism likelihood. Results in this study demonstrate the crucial role that the context-specific regulatory institutional environment related to absenteeism plays in suppressing the effect of emotional job demands on absenteeism likelihood when considered through the work-engagement pathway. The study's findings clarify the mechanism through which emotional job demands affect absenteeism likelihood in a low-income country context. The study thus offers a new refined theoretical perspective on how emotional job demands, work engagement, and context-specific regulatory institutional environments interact in ways that predict absenteeism likelihood.
