Summary
Presenteeism in the anime industry is linked to job satisfaction, except for income and working hours. Tailored occupational health services are crucial for animator well-being and preventing dysfunction.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Health
- Psychology
- Sociology
Background:
- Presenteeism, working while unwell, poses risks to productivity and well-being.
- The unique work environment of the anime industry may influence presenteeism and job satisfaction.
- Understanding these relationships is vital for targeted interventions.
Purpose of the Study:
- To investigate the association between presenteeism and work environment satisfaction in the anime industry.
- To identify specific factors contributing to or mitigating presenteeism among animators.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of data from the Animation Producers Survey 2023.
- Inclusion of 366 laborers from the anime industry.
- Assessment of presenteeism using the Work Functioning Impairment Scale (WFun).
- Evaluation of satisfaction with eight work environment aspects.
Main Results:
- Presenteeism showed significant associations with satisfaction in most evaluated work aspects, aligning with theoretical models.
- Current income level and working hours did not demonstrate significant differences, deviating from the Effort-Reward Imbalance model.
- Other satisfaction factors were consistent with the Effort-Reward Imbalance or Job Demand-Control-Support models.
Conclusions:
- Work environment satisfaction significantly correlates with presenteeism in the anime industry, with notable exceptions.
- Occupational health services must be customized to the anime industry's specific characteristics.
- Implementing tailored services is essential for preventing occupational dysfunction and supporting animator health.
