Psychosocial well-being index and sick leave in the workplace: a structural equation modeling of Wittyfit data by Rémi Colin-Chevalier, Bruno Pereira, Samuel Dewavrin, Thomas Cornet, Julien Steven Baker, Frédéric Dutheil

“…All factors, except workload (p = 0.9), were influential, with meaning (β = 0.72, 95% CI 0.69–0.74), values (0.69, 0.67–0.70) and job satisfaction (0.64, 0.61–0.66) being the main drivers (p < 0.001). Overall, psychosocial well-being was found to be a protective factor for sick leave, with a 2% decreased risk (OR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.98–0.99, p < 0.001) and duration (IRR = 0.98, 95% CI 0.97–0.99, p < 0.001) per psychosocial well-being index point.ConclusionThe psychosocial well-being index provides a measure of psychosocial well-being and helps predict sick leave in the workplace. …”
