Sickness presenteeism is defined as attending work while ill. The present study investigated how psychosocial workplace factors affect sickness presenteeism, sickness absenteeism, and long- term health. So far, the combination of these parameters has been unusual in research. Data were collected in a Norwegian company with low levels of absenteeism. Three separate logistic regression analyses were performed with sickness presenteeism, sickness absenteeism, and long-term health as dependent variables. Results revealed that all dependent variables were associated with attendance pressure in the form of censure pressure. Sickness absenteeism and long-term health were also related to moral pressure. In addition, long-term health was related to perceived organizational adjustment. This paper discusses neglected aspects of attendance dynamics by exploring how employee presenteeism may be related to perceived organizational adjustment.
