Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship that emotional, psychological, and social well-being has with self-reported illness-related absenteeism. Methods: This study examines the relationship between three dimensions of well-being (emotional, psychological, and social) and self-report illness-related absenteeism among 133 workers spanning multiple industries across 16 different companies. This secondary, cross-sectional datawere analyzed using multiple linear regression. Results: As hypothesized, emotional well-being and psychological well-being were found to be negatively associated with absenteeism, with emotional well-being being the stronger predictor. Contrary to our hypothesis, we found that social well-being was not associated with absenteeism amongworkers. Conclusions: Employee emotionalwell-being and psychological well-being are associated with self-reported illness-related absenteeism. Future work should explore causal relationships between these constructs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
