Abstract

LAZO PAEZ, Adrián  and  ROLDAN ABELLAN, Berny. Implicaciones del presentismo en la productividad laboral del área de la salud. Med. leg. Costa Rica [online]. 2015, vol.32, n.1, pp.146-153. ISSN 2215-5287.

Recently some concepts have emerged in the occupational area, specifically associated with the health sector, that previously wasn’t taken into account or mentioned until some years ago, where the paradigm has changed and those new concepts, where the presenteeism plays an important role, came to take a place within the global working situation. The presenteeism has been known, like going to work even though the employee is having a health problem or some other situation that normally would take to the absenteeism. Besides, when we think in the implications of the presenteeism, we can’t forget several factors that influence in the productivity, like the organizational climate. These factors altogether with the presenteeism and the absenteeism, represent a great impact, because of their economic costs, but principally the “hidden or not measurable costs”, because they involve a higher incidence of medical errors, leading to compromise human lives.

Keywords : Presenteeism; absenteeism; organizational climate; work productivity.
