Managerial support can prevent presenteeism
Workaholics suffering from ‘presenteeism’ can greatly benefit from managerial support, new research has revealed.
Increasing the awareness of supervisors of the harmful consequences and costs associated with showing up to work while ill (presenteeism) could allow them to recognise the value of rest and recovery.
This could help prevent these employees from forcing themselves to attend work when they are sick, as well as helping them to address work–family conflicts.
“Managers should be trained to develop supportive leadership skills that are able to function as a protective factor buffering the detrimental association between an overwhelming compulsion to work and presenteeism,” said Dr Greta Mazzetti, lead author of the International Journal of Psychology study.
