The situational contingency of virtual and on-site workplace attendance decisions in Germany
Sickness presenteeism (SP), i.e., working while ill, and sickness absence (SA) reflect alternative responses to ill-health. Although both stem from the same attendance decision process, little is known about how illness severity interacts with workplace conditions, how remote work opportunities influence attendance decisions and what role personal motives play. We draw on data from a factorial survey experiment following the 2024 BIBB/BAuA Employ…
A Factorial Survey on Sickness Presenteeism
We present new data from a factorial survey experiment on sickness presenteeism, collected as a follow-up to the 2024 BIBB/BAuA Employment Survey – a representative survey of the German workforce. The factorial survey uses hypothetical scenarios to examine how employees decide between going to work, calling in sick, or working from home when experiencing illness. Scenarios systematically vary dimensions such as symptom severity, contagiousness, a…
Perceived fairness and legitimacy of parental workplace discrimination
Effects of Parental Workplace Discrimination on Sickness Presenteeism
This paper analyzes the association between experienced and observed parental workplace discrimination and sickness presenteeism. Following stress theoretical approaches and reactance theory, we expected that both experienced and observed parental discrimination of others at the workplace would lead to a reactance behavior and could increase sickness presenteeism, especially in those individuals who deny arguments of justification. Based on surve…
Health literacy and age-related health-care utilisation
Inefficient health service utilisation puts pressure on health systems and may cause such negative individual consequences as over-medicalisation or exacerbation of health problems. While previous research has considered the key relevance of health literacy (HL) for efficient use of health services, the results of that research have been somewhat inconclusive. Possible reasons for diverging results of prior research may be grounded in different m…
The Ambivalent Appraisal of Job Demands and the Moderating Role of Job Control and Social Support for Burnout and Job Satisfaction
Within an extended challenge-hindrance framework, it is assumed that job demands are subjectively appraised both as challenges (that is, as working conditions that are associated with potential personal gains) and hindrances (as working conditions associated with constrains) at the same time. In accordance with transactional stress theory, the association between demand intensity and work-related attitudes (work satisfaction) and psychological st…
Effects of Social Networks on Health from a Stress Theoretical Perspective
Effects of Social Networks on the Quality of Life in an Elder and Middle-Aged Deaf Community Sample
This article endeavors to investigate the role of social networks in contributing to the quality of life of an elder and middle-aged Deaf population. In particular, it poses the question of whether a certain network composition (deaf and hearing network persons) provides positive resources to improve quality of life and attempts to identify moderating and mediating connections between social networks and quality of life. Based on the data collect…
Real or Virtual? Response Behavior in Video-Enhanced Self-Administered Computer Interviews
This article compares response behavior in video-enhanced self-administered questionnaires with three standard methods: paper-and-pencil, face-to-face, and audio-enhanced self-administered questionnaires. Although its scope is limited, and only small mode differences were observed, preliminary results suggest that video-enhanced interviews may produce more valid responses in that they are less contaminated by social desirability. Knowledge of vid…
Video Computer-Assisted Self-Administered Interviews for Deaf Respondents
As sign language is the primary communication channel for the vast majority of deaf persons, options for survey research with this population are limited. A video computerassisted self-administered interview (CASI) instrument developed for deaf respondents is introduced. With the help of a case study involving 234 deaf persons in Austria, the impact of multimedia-supported CASI methods for special populations is discussed
