Abstract (Swedish)
Denna studie undersöker sambandet mellan variablerna arbetskrav, organisationskultur och socialt stöd, på utfallsmåttet, benägenhet till sjuknärvaro. Med avsikt att upptäcka viktiga insikter inriktade sig studien på följande delar: kvantitativa krav, känslomässiga krav, socialt stöd från överordnade, socialt stöd från kollegor, tillit och trovärdighet mellan ledning och anställda samt tillit och trovärdighet mellan de anställda inbördes. Syftet med studien var att identifiera de viktigaste faktorerna som kan predicera sjuknärvaro samt att belysa relationerna mellan dessa. Det användes en kvantitativ metod och data samlades in genom enkät (N=69) på Elis Textilservice AB. Datan analyserades sedan med deskriptiv statistik, korrelationsanalys... (More)

Syftet med studien var att identifiera de viktigaste faktorerna som kan predicera sjuknärvaro samt att belysa relationerna mellan dessa. Det användes en kvantitativ metod och data samlades in genom enkät (N=69) på Elis Textilservice AB. Datan analyserades sedan med deskriptiv statistik, korrelationsanalys och multipel linjär regression. Resultatet visade att socialt stöd från närmaste chefer var signifikant relaterat till minskad sjuknärvaro. Vidare visade även dimensionen ‘tillit mellan kollegor’ ett signifikant positivt samband med sjuknärvaro, vilket indikerar att hög tillit
mellan anställda kan leda till att de arbetar trots sjukdom. De praktiska implikationerna av resultaten pekar på ett behov av att utveckla riktlinjer och skapa en organisationskultur som främjar hälsa och återhämtning, samt att arbeta för att minska eventuellt stigma kring sjukfrånvaro. Fynden är av värde för framtida studier och ett tillskott i den fortsatt växande forskningen inom fenomenet, samt för Elis Textilservice AB i deras utvecklingsarbete. Framtida forskning rekommenderas för att vidare undersöka dessa samband i större och varierade grupper för att bättre förstå långsiktiga effekter och de underliggande element bakom benägenheten till sjuknärvaro.

Abstract
This study investigates the relationship between the variables work demands,
organizational culture and social support, on the outcome measure, presenteeism. With the intention of discovering important insights, the study focused on the following parts: quantitative demands, emotional demands, social support from superiors, social support from colleagues, trust and credibility between management and employees and trust and credibility between employees. The aim was to identify key predictors of presenteeism and to shed light on the dynamic relationships between these. A quantitative method was used and data was collected through a questionnaire (N=69) at Elis Textilservice AB. The data was then analyzed with descriptive statistics,... (More)
This study investigates the relationship between the variables work demands,

With the intention of discovering important insights, the study focused on the following parts: quantitative demands, emotional demands, social support from superiors, social support from colleagues, trust and credibility between management and employees and trust and credibility between employees. The aim was to identify key predictors of presenteeism and to shed light on the dynamic relationships between these. A quantitative method was used and data was collected through a questionnaire (N=69) at Elis Textilservice AB. The data was then analyzed with descriptive statistics, correlation analysis and multiple linear regression. The result showed that social support from immediate supervisors was significantly related to lower levels of presenteeism. Furthermore, did the dimension ‘trust between colleagues’ also show a significant positive relationship with presenteeism, indicating that high trust between employees can lead to them
working despite illness. The practical implications of the results highlight the need to establish clear guidelines and foster an organizational culture that prioritizes health and recovery, while also addressing and reducing any stigma associated with absenteeism. These results contribute valuable insights to the expanding research in the field for this phenomenon, as well as for Elis Textilservice AB in their development work. Future research is encouraged to further explore these relationships in larger and more diverse groups to gain a deeper understanding of the long-term effects and the underlying factors influencing the propensity for presenteeism.
