Objective:
Presenteeism can result from a variety of causes, one of which is job stress. This study examined the factor structure and validity of the Job Stress-Related Presenteeism Scale (JSRPS).
Methods:
Using three organizational samples, the study aimed to determine the factor structure of the JSRPS, its relationship to a sickness presenteeism scale, and the association between the JSRPS and associated concepts.
Results:
Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a reliable 6-item, 2-factor model for the JSRPS. JSRPS scores were associated with higher levels of psychological distress, workplace harassment, and turnover intentions and lower levels of job satisfaction, and work engagement. The JSRPS had stronger associations with psychological distress and workplace harassment than did the Stanford Presenteeism Scale.
Conclusions:
Results suggest that the JSRPS provides a valid measure of presenteeism resulting from job stress.
