Exploring the Validity of HPQ-Based Presenteeism Measures to Estimate Productivity Losses in the Health and Education Sectors
TLDR
The Health and Work Performance Questionnaire–based measure of presenteeism across occupations and industries is validated and Transforming responses by perceived performance of peers is unnecessary as absolute presenteeist correlated best with health indicators.
Chronic Medical Conditions and Work Performance in the Health and Work Performance Questionnaire Calibration Surveys
TLDR
Investigation of associations between chronic conditions and work performance in reservation agents, customer service representatives, executives, and railroad engineers found arthritis had the largest aggregate effect on absenteeism–presenteeism, and only depression affected both absenteeism- presenteeism and critical incidents.
Work Performance Decrements Are Associated With Australian Working Conditions, Particularly the Demand to Work Longer Hours
TLDR
Hours expected to work, annual wage, and job insecurity play a vital role in the association between health- and work-related performance for both work attendance and self-reported work performance.
The Assessment of Chronic Health Conditions on Work Performance, Absence, and Total Economic Impact for Employers
TLDR
The cost associated with performance based work loss or “presenteeism” greatly exceeded the combined costs of absenteeism and medical treatment combined for all chronic conditions studied.
The Association of Two Productivity Measures with Health Risks and Medical Conditions in an Australian Employee Population
TLDR
This study demonstrates an association between health metrics and self-reported work impairment (presenteeism) and measured absenteeism and provides a first indication of the potential benefits of health promotion programming to Australian employees in improving health and to the corporation in minimizing health-related productivity loss.
Reliability and validity of Persian version of World Health Organization health and work performance questionnaire in Iranian health care workers.
TLDR
Persian version of HPQ can be considered a reliable and valid tool in Iranian health workers.
The Association of Health Risks With On-the-Job Productivity
TLDR
Perception-related risk factors such as life dissatisfaction, job dissatisfaction, poor health, and stress showed the greatest association with presenteeism as the number of self-reported health risk factors increased, so did the percentage of employees reporting work limitations.
Impact of a Health Promotion Program on Employee Health Risks and Work Productivity
TLDR
The results suggest that a well-implemented multicomponent workplace health promotion program can produce sizeable changes in health risks and productivity.
A Review of Self-Report Instruments Measuring Health-Related Work Productivity
TLDR
Each productivity instrument has benefits in certain research settings, but the psychometric properties of the WPAI have been assessed most extensively, which was the most frequently used instrument and has also been modified to measure productivity reductions associated with specific diseases.

The Effects of Chronic Medical Conditions on Work Loss and Work Cutback
TLDR
The enormous magnitude of the work impairment associated with chronic conditions and the economic advantages of interventions for ill workers that reduce work impairments should be factored into employer cost-benefit calculations of expanding health insurance coverage.
Alcohol consumption and work performance.
TLDR
There is an overall negative relationship between alcohol consumption and technical aspects of work performance as indicated by workplace collateral reports, which indicates that heavier drinkers are more likely to score lower on self-direction at work, conflict avoidance at work and interpersonal relations at work.
