Presenteeism in Economic Research
2018
Change is a constant ingredient of modern work life. Thus, job demands and the complexity of job tasks that workers are required to accomplish and perform in everyday work are increasing in organizations and firms. Increasing job demands and incessant changes may be stressful, at least for certain employees, and cause significant and long-lasting health effects as well. Most individuals spend a substantial portion of their total time at work. Thus, work-related behaviours have significant spillover effects on other aspects of life. For these reasons, work-related sickness is also a particularly important aspect of employee well-being from the broader economic perspective. peerReviewed
A kink that makes you sick : The effect of sick pay on absence
2018
We exploit a regression kink design to estimate the elasticity of the duration of sickness absence with respect to replacement rate. Elasticity is a central parameter in defining the optimal social insurance scheme compensating for lost earnings due to sickness. We use comprehensive administrative data and a kink in the policy rule near the median earnings. We find a statistically significant estimate of the elasticity of the order of one. peerReviewed
Work incapacity among family caregivers : a record linkage study
2022
BackgroundFamily caregiving-related physical and mental health problems may lead to work incapacity in employed caregivers. The aim of this study was to quantify sickness absences and disability pensions (SADP) among high-intensity family caregivers available to the labour market compared with a control population.MethodsThe study sample included all individuals in Finland, who had received caregiver’s allowance and were available to the labour market in 2012 (n=16 982) and their controls (n=35 371). Information on the number of sickness absence (spells >10 days) and disability pension (SADP) days and related diagnoses according to ICD-10 were obtained from national registers for the yea…
Läsnäolon tärkeys : opiskelijoiden läsnäolo, siihen vaikuttavat tekijät ja läsnäolon vaikutus oppimistuloksiin
2015
Opiskelijoiden läsnäolon ja oppimistulosten yhteyttä on tutkittu paljon. Opiskelijat saavuttavat parempia oppimistuloksia, mikäli he ovat useammin paikalla luennoilla. Yleisimpiä syitä poissaoloon ovat muiden opintojen työtaakka, sairastaminen ja kokemus siitä, että luennoitsijat eivät tuo riittävästi lisätietoa heiltä saatujen, valmiiden muistiinpanojen lisäksi. Kursseille ilmoittautuneista opiskelijoista on aikaisempien tutkimusten mukaan osallistunut luennolle 30 % – 80 %. Tämän tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, kuinka iso osa kursseille ilmoittautuneista opiskelijoista on läsnä Jyväskylän yliopiston bio- ja ympäristötieteiden laitoksen luennoilla, mitkä tekijät vaikuttavat läsnäolo…
The effects of using participatory working time scheduling software on sickness absence: A difference-in-differences study.
2020
Abstract Background Participatory working time scheduling is a collaborative approach to scheduling shift work. As a potential way of improving work time control, it may provide a means to reducing sickness absence in shift work. So far, experimental and quasi-experimental studies on the effects of increased work time control on sickness absence are lacking. Objective To investigate the effects of using digital participatory working time scheduling software on ward-level sickness absence among Finnish hospital employees. Participants and methods This quasi-experimental study compared the amount of sickness absence in hospital wards using a participatory working time scheduling software (n=1…
Sickness Absence at Work and Supporting Being Present At Work, Among Employees Working Different Shifts in the Forest Industry
2015
Objective: Shift work has negative effects on employee overall health, including sleep disorder, depressive symptoms, and cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. The association between shift work and the prevalence of sickness absence has been less studied. This study investigated sickness absence among employees working different work shift schedules in the forest industry. Method: This descriptive cross-sectional study used employee (N=636) data from forest industry sick-leave registers. The study population (n=280; women n=90 and men=189) worked five different shifts. Each of the five shifts was analyzed separately for sickness absence rate and the results were compared using independent…
Johtajien työholismin pysyvyys ja yhteys työhyvinvointiin
2016
Tässä tutkimuksessa tutkittiin työholismin pysyvyyttä ja työholismin yhteyttä työhyvinvointiin (työuupumus, sairauspoissaolot). Tutkimus perustui johtajien seurantatutkimukseen, jossa aineistoa kerättiin yhteensä kuuden vuoden ajan vuosina 2009 (n= 898), 2011 (n = 465), 2013 (n = 406) ja 2015 (n = 237). Tutkittavista suurin osa oli miehiä (70%) ja tutkittavat olivat tutkimuksen lähtötilanteessa iältään 25–68 vuotiaita (ka = 46). Työholismi osoittautui tutkimuksessa sekä suhteellisesti (toistomittauskorrelaatiot) ettäabsoluuttisesti (keskiarvon muutos yli ajan) voimakkaasti pysyväksi ilmiöksi. Työholismin alakuvaajan, liiallisen työskentelyn, tasossa tapahtui heikkenemistä ensimmäiseltä mitt…
Työkyvyn ja sen osa-alueiden pysyvyys ja muutos : esimiesten 10-vuotisseurantatutkimus
2008
Tutkimuksessa tarkasteltiin esimiesten työkyvyn ja sen osa-alueiden pysyvyyttä ja muutosta 10 vuoden seuranta-aikana (vuosina 1996-2006). Esimiesten työkykyä arvioitiin Työterveyslaitoksen kehittämän työkykyindeksin ja sen osa-alueiden (oma arvio työkyvystä, oma arvio työkyvystä suhteessa työn vaatimuksiin, lääkärin toteamat sairaudet, sairauksien haitta työssä, sairaus-poissaolot, arvio työkyvystä kahden vuoden kuluttua ja psyykkiset voimavarat) avulla. Tarkastelut tehtiin työkykyindeksin kokonaispistemäärän ja sen osa-alueiden pysyvyyskorrelaatioita ja keskiarvojen muutosta tarkastelemalla. Lisäksi työkykyindeksin ja sen osa-alueiden keskiarvojen muutosta tarkasteltiin esimiesten ikäryhmä…
The role of ethical organizational culture in preventing sickness absence and turnover in organizations
2016
This research examined the role of ethical organizational culture in preventing sickness absence and turnover in organizations, and also validated the Corporate Ethical Virtues (CEV) model used to study ethical organizational culture. More specifically, the research had four aims: 1) to test the factorial validity and group invariance of the 58-item CEV scale, 2) to examine the associations between ethical organizational culture and sickness absence at the individual and work unit levels, 3) to study the role of ethical organizational culture as an antecedent of managerial turnover, and 4) to examine the reasons managers gave for their turnover, and the associations between ethical culture …
Sustainable Working Life Patterns in a Swedish Twin Cohort : Age-Related Sequences of Sickness Absence, Disability Pension, Unemployment, and Prematu…
2022
We aimed to investigate sustainable working life via age-related sequences of sickness absence (SA), disability pension (DP), unemployment (UE), premature death, and the influence of individual characteristics, accounting for familial confounding. The sample included monozygotic (MZ) and dizygotic (DZ) same-sexed twin pairs with register data (n = 47,450) that were followed for 10 years in four age cohorts: 26–35 (n = 9892), 36–45 (n = 10,620), 46–55 (n = 12,964) and 56–65 (n = 13,974). A sequence analysis was done in a 7-element state space: 1. “Sustainable working life”: SA/DP 0–30 days and UE 0–90 days; 2. “Unemployment >90 days”: SA/DP 0–30 days and UE > 90 days; 3. “Moderate SA/DP”: SA…
