Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II

1.9K
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

42.6K
People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Area of Science:

  • Organizational Psychology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Presenteeism, or working while ill, is a global phenomenon.
  • Prior research predominantly focused on the detrimental effects of presenteeism.
  • A comprehensive content model of presenteeism, initially based on negative effects, was developed.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the positive consequences of presenteeism.
  • To assess the relevance and impact of positive effects derived from a content model of presenteeism.
  • To explore the relationship between positive effects and presenteeism propensity.

Main Methods:

  • A quantitative online survey was administered to 181 employees.
  • Participants rated experienced or potential positive effects of presenteeism.
  • Data were analyzed to compare effects between those who worked while ill and those who did not.

Main Results:

  • All postulated positive effects within the content model were found to be relevant.
  • Employees who engaged in presenteeism reported significantly higher positive effects compared to those who did not.
  • Positive effects significantly predicted presenteeism propensity (adjusted R² = 0.20) among those who had worked while ill.

Conclusions:

  • The study validates the applicability of the content model to understanding the positive effects of presenteeism.
  • Findings underscore the need for further research into the positive aspects of presenteeism.
  • The positive consequences of presenteeism should be considered in its management strategies.
