- Abstract
- This paper is about the psychosocial work environment, and those factors that can be responsible for an employee’s sick leave.

- This paper is about the psychosocial work environment, and those factors that can be responsible for an employee’s sick leave. We have through our knowledge from working life, on several occasions experienced colleagues becoming ill, the cause being the psychosocial working environment. Private factors, for instance different kinds of life crisis like a divorce or uprooting, have contributed to the sick leave. The psychosocial working environment is complex. There are no easy answers to why sick leave, related to psychic ill health, has increased heavily in our society. The purpose of this essay is to try to show which factors can contribute to work-related stress. We also looked at preventive actions, and what the employer and the individual employee are responsible for, concerning the work environment. Work environment is governed by law and regulations. Our paper shows that there are obvious defects on the employer’s part concerning work with psychosocial work environment issues. We have with great interest taken part of current research and debate. Among other things, researchers are talking of different kinds or types of personality traits. They are looking into the possibility that there is a certain personality that has an increased risk of falling ill with “burnout or fatigue”-syndrome. There is also research done on health-factors, those factors that keep an employee healthy. The motive for our essay is, among other things, that it is highly contemporary and interesting. (Less)
