Investigating and validating the factors influencing presenteeism among the IT employees in Tanjore district

Since employment may be therapeutic to health, attending work when sick should not be considered as an intrinsically bad thing. However, the functional advantages are likely to rely on the health status, and the psychological quality of the labour supplied. The current study employed a workforce survey to evaluate variations in the pattern of presenteeism and absenteeism by health status, the connection of psychosocial work variables with presenteeism compared to absenteeism, and their interaction to predict health. Findings reveal that instead of substituting absenteeism for presenteeism, the two tend to coincide, although the balance vary by health status. Presenteeism is more likely to occur in inferior psychosocial situations, underscoring the significance of ensuring work is structured and handled in ways that are good rather than damaging to health. The findings also underscore the methodological necessity of distinguishing between the act and impact of presenteeism in future study and practise.
