Abstract

PurposeBuilding on prior studies on the role of health-related and job-related issues in affecting presenteeism, the present study tested a mediation model of the relationship between job demands and presenteeism by exploring the mediation effect of menopausal symptoms.Design/methodology/approachData were collected through a self-report questionnaire involving social service menopausal employees (N = 204) from a public municipal organization. The survey was cross-sectional and non-randomized.FindingsResults revealed that job demands, namely emotional, cognitive and physical demands, were significantly and positively associated with presenteeism. Furthermore, mediation analysis evidenced that physical job demands were also associated with higher levels of menopausal physical symptom bothersomeness, which in turn serves as a condition to increase the act of presenteeism.Originality/valueThe findings of this study widen the perspective on presenteeism research by evidencing the role of an overlooked health-related factor in relation to the act of presenteeism, that is the menopausal transition. Insights for the development of targeted preventive measures of the act of presenteeism and menopausal symptom management in the workplace may also be derived from these results.

出勤的工作与健康相关因素:绝经期症状在社会服务女性员工工作需求与出勤之间作用的中介分析

目的在以往健康相关和工作相关问题对出勤影响研究的基础上，本研究通过探索更年期症状的中介作用，检验工作需求与出勤之间关系的中介模型。设计/方法/方法采用自我报告问卷收集某公共市政机构社会服务绝经期从业人员(N = 204)的数据。该调查是横断面的，非随机的。研究结果显示，工作需求，即情感、认知和身体需求，与出勤率呈显著正相关。此外，经中介分析发现，生理工作需求与较高的更年期生理症状困扰程度相关，进而成为增加出勤行为的条件。原创性/价值本研究的发现通过证明与出勤行为有关的一个被忽视的健康相关因素，即更年期的转变，拓宽了出勤研究的视角。这些结果也可能为制定针对性的预防措施和工作场所的出勤行为和更年期症状管理提供见解。
