Are you sick? Understanding the effects of coworker presenteeism on workplace mistreatment.
研究同事带病上班如何通过自我关注和同事导向两种机制影响职场不当对待，发现同事导向会减少不当对待，而高工作负荷下自我关注会增加不当对待。
As organizations across the United States resume activities even as the novel coronavirus endures, millions of employees could come into contact with sick coworkers and become exposed to the 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Unfortunately, little is known about how sick individuals might be treated at work. Because working with a sick coworker may simultaneously evoke concerns about oneself and one's ailing colleague, we propose dual mechanisms of self-concern and coworker-orientation to explain the relationship between coworker presenteeism (i.e., a coworker attends work while ill) and interpersonal mistreatment. Across two studies with employees working face-to-face during the pandemic, our findings showed that coworker presenteeism decreases subsequent workplace mistreatment through coworker-orientation. Moreover, we found that coworker presenteeism increases mistreatment through self-concern when employees experience higher workloads. Implications and future research directions are discussed.
