BackgroundAfter working in a harsh occupational hazard environment for a long time, open-pit coal mine workers are under tremendous physical and mental pressure, which is prone to presenteeism behavior. objectiveTo identify the relationships between presenteeism, job burnout, and social support of open-pit coal miners, and verify potential mediating effect of job burnout between social support and presenteeism. MethodsIn 2020—2021, a questionnaire survey was conducted among employees of 6 open-pit coal mining enterprises in Xinjiang by stratified cluster random sampling. Job Burnout Questionnaire, Job Content Questionnaire, and Presenteeism Behavior Scale were used to evaluate burnout, social support, and presenteeism behavior in the study subjects. SPSS 26.0 software was used for t test, F test, correlation analysis, and mediating effect test. ResultsA total of 1199 questionnaires were distributed and 1083 valid questionnaires were recovered, with an effective recovery rate of 90.3%. The M (P25, P75) scores of presenteeism behavior, social support, and job burnout were 2.0 (2.0, 5.0), 24.0 (23.0, 26.0), and 45.0 (34.0, 51.0), respectively. The Spearman correlation analysis results showed that there was a significant negative correlation between social support and job burnout (\begin{document}$ r $\end{document}=−0.200, P

Presenteeism is a phenomenon about which a gap has been identified regarding its effects on productivity or worker well-being in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. This research analyzes the effects of presenteeism on workers' productivity and mental health, and the moderating-mediating role of mental health in the relationship between presenteeism and productivity. Based on the literature, a model was developed to verify the proposed relationships. To test it, data was collected through an online questionnaire applied to 308 participants who had experienced any health problem during the COVID-19 pandemic. The proposed model was analyzed using structural equation modeling with partial least squares (PLS) estimation. The evidence indicates the positive effects of presenteeism on workers' productivity and mental health. It also shows the nodal role of employees' mental health in their work performance when they decide to work whilst sick. As a mediating role, the impacts of presenteeism on productivity are high, both with a focus on completing work and avoiding distraction. In the moderating role, the relationship between presenteeism focused on work completion and productivity is weakened.

Presenteeism refers to attending work when one is ill, which not only leads to a decline in the physical and mental health of employees but also negatively impacts organizational productivity and increases an organization’s extra costs. Therefore, to explore the antecedents and outcomes of nurses’ presenteeism behavior and the acting mechanism among the variables, a sample of 330 nurses from China were investigated with the Sickness Presenteeism Questionnaire, Job Insecurity Scale, Perceived Supervisor Support Scale, and Emotional Exhaustion Scale. The results indicated that (1) job insecurity had a significantly predictive effect on nurses’ presenteeism behavior; (2) nurses’ presenteeism partially mediated the relationship between job insecurity and emotional exhaustion; and (3) supervisor support moderated the relationship between nurses’ presenteeism behavior and emotional exhaustion; i.e., the higher the level of supervisor support, the weaker the positive relationship between nurses’ presenteeism behavior and emotional exhaustion. The findings provide theoretical guidance and an empirical basis for prevention and intervention strategies concerning nurses’ presenteeism behavior.
