TWO DISTINCT CAUSAL PATHS FROM INDOOR AIR PROBLEMS TO SICKNESS ABSENTEEISM

摘要

General sickness absenteeism literature states that problems in the work environment not only directly cause invalidating illness and therefore absenteeism but that they also decrease workers' loyalty to the organisation and therefore increase the probability of reporting ill and of postponing reporting well in the case of less serious illnesses. Published data indicate that the second causal path also plays a role in the case of indoor air problems.
