“…Personal, physical and psychological resources are internal resources that can be possessed and mobilized by the self (e.g., psychological resilience, self-efficacy, sense of control over one's life, and optimism) ( 26 ). Social resources refer to external resources that are embedded within the physical environment and interpersonal interactions ( 27 ). This theory emphasizes that accelerated loss of resources, particularly those that are most valued by the individual, can lead to traumatic stress.…”

COVID-19 survivors who had acute respiratory symptoms might experience prolonged post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) due to further rehabilitation, somatic symptoms and related distress. The conservation of resource (COR) theory is a well-developed theory to understand how people develop PTSD symptoms in traumatic events. The current study aimed to examine the potential factors of PTSD symptoms and interrelationships among this factors among COVID-19 survivors based on the COR theory. This cross-sectional telephone survey enrolled 199 COVID-19 patients (Mean age = 42.7; 53.3% females) 6 months after their hospital discharge in five Chinese cities (i.e., Wuhan, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Dongguan, and Nanning). The results showed that 7% of participants were classified as having probable PTSD. The significant potential factors relating to PTSD symptoms included socio-demographic status, hospitalization experiences, post-hospitalization experiences, and psychological status. Besides, the proposed statistical mediation model based on the COR framework showed good model fit, χ2(df) = 17.286 (5), p = 0.004, CFI = 0.962, NNFI = 0.951, RMSEA = 0.077. Perceived resource loss/gain fully mediated the association between exposure to other patients' suffering during hospitalization and PTSD symptoms, and partially mediated the relationships from somatic symptoms/perceived impact of being infected with COVID-19 after discharge to PTSD symptoms. On the other hand, resilience was a full mediator in the relationship from ICU experience to PTSD symptoms and a partial mediator in the relationship from perceived impact to PTSD symptoms. The results provide preliminary support on applying the COR theory to understand the factors of PTSD symptoms among COVID-19 survivors. Interventions to reduce PTSD symptoms in this population can be developed based on the modifiable psychosocial mediators.

“…Finally, within the overwork context in Taiwan (Lu et al , 2020), we found that psychological detachment served as a moderator, weakening the negative relationship between job burnout and recovery self-efficacy. Prior research on recovery have provided evidence that psychological detachment mediates the relationship between job stressors and work outcomes (Sonnentag and Fritz, 2015; Lu et al , 2020). However, there is evidence identifying psychological detachment as a moderator on the relations between work stressors and well-being (e.g., Rivkin et al , 2015; Lu and Chou, 2020; Kilroy et al , 2020), implying that individuals can restore their energy and obtain resources by leaving work at work (Steed et al , 2021).…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to examine the indirect impact of job demands on recovery self-efficacy via the mediation of job burnout. The study also investigates the moderating effects of school-to-work facilitation and psychological detachment in the indirect relationship between job demands and recovery self-efficacy.Design/methodology/approachThe study recruited and surveyed 263 employed graduate students in the executive master of business administration program in Taiwan. Regression analysis was used to examine the proposed relationships.FindingsThe results showed that job burnout mediated the relationship between job demands and recovery self-efficacy. The relationship was weaker when school-to-work facilitation and psychological detachment were high.Originality/valueThis study confirms the indirect effects of job demands on recover self-efficacy through job burnout and provides new insights into the role of school-to-work facilitation and psychological detachment to enhance the recovery in the JD-R model.

“…Cross-cultural differences and national values play a crucial role in the occurrence of presenteeism (Cooper and Lu, 2016). Among cross-cultural dimensions, the value given to the job well done (e.g., Protestant work ethic), or the shared value of hard work, long hours (Lu et al, 2020), and endurance (Confucian culture), or the perceived legitimacy of absenteeism across cultures (Addae et al, 2013), among others, may play a determinant role in explaining the decision of working during illness. Cross-cultural issues are therefore considered in our health equation.…”

Sickness Presenteeism in the Aftermath of COVID-19: Is Presenteeism Remote-Work Behavior the New (Ab)normal?

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Due to the confinement imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic situation, companies adopted remote work more than ever. The rapid rise of remote work also affected local life and many employers introduced or extended their telework activities because of the associated advantages. However, despite the evident positive benefits, some employees were pressured to work remotely while ill. This evidence brought new challenges to the presenteeism literature. This article investigates how individual, economic/societal, and organizational/sectorial/supervisory-related variables can moderate the role of a contagious disease, such as the COVID-19, in explaining presenteeism behavior. Moreover, the current research presents a multi-level conceptual model (i.e., organizational, individual, supervisory factors) to describe how a new construct of remote-work presenteeism behavior mediates the relationship between different post pandemic health conditions (e.g., allergies, back pain, depression, anxiety) and future cumulative negative consequences. The authors suggested that the widespread pervasive adoption of remote work because of COVID-19 has important implications for the presenteeism literature and opens avenues for further research.
