임금노동자의 프리젠티즘 결정요인 비교 연구:노동조건, 효율임금, 교섭력 관련 요인을 중심으로

Presenteeism, which refers to the phenomenon of going to work while one is sick, is an important social problem threatening the quality of life of workers. However, there are relatively few studies of presenteeism compared to those of absenteeism. Also, theories of presenteeism are still lacking. In this study, we review the factors related to occupational environment, bargaining power, and efficiency wage for presenteeism and examine the explanatory power through empirical analyses. This study uses data collected using structured questionnaires for wage workers aged 19 or older nationwide in South Korea. Logistic regression analyses are conducted on the presenteeism using data from a total of 1,587 cases. Results show that the variables of occupational environment consistently explain presenteeism. While factors of bargaining power or efficiency wage model present inconsistent effects, they have effects on presenteeism in relation with other job-related variables. For quality of life of workers, especially that of the disadvantaged workers, improvement of occupational environment and employment condition and institutional supports are needed.
