Hardiness, stress, and use of ill-time among nurse managers: is there a connection?

Intense job-related demands often result in effects on job performance and increased use of ill-time. In this study, associations between hardiness, stress, and use of ill-time among nurse managers were examined. High-hardy/low-stress managers used 27% less ill-time than those low-hardy/high-stressed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
