Abstract
Sickness presenteeism refers to
attending work while ill. This
article replicated some of the
existing results relating to
presenteeism as well as evidenced
new hypotheses that
have only been hinted in the literature.
It examined effects of
three broad categories of determinants
i.e. work related, personality
related and personal
circumstances of an individual
on presenteeism. A major addition
in this study was inclusion
of personality factors in predicting
Sickness presenteeism. It is
contended that presenteeism has
important implications for organizational
theory and practice,
and presents a research agenda
for organizational scholars.
