Hi, as a part of my doctoral studies, I am conducting a study to better understand why employees come to work when they are ill when they have legitimate reasons to take the time off. As you can imagine, coming to work (or working from home) when ill poses risks to the wellbeing of the employee, their colleagues, but also to the overall productivity of the organisation. I am hoping that my research will help organisations come up with better policies for managing sick leave.
If you are interested in participating in the study, please click this link where you will find the survey. Before you start the survey, you will find all the relevant information about how your identity and privacy are protected, a consent form and complete instructions on how to complete the survey.
Please help by responding as I am about half way to my needed sample of 131 participants!!!

An interesting article that dives into some of the issues plaguing modern office work attitudes, how the pandemic affected them and what might be done to fix it.
Thank you for everyone who responded, but I have about 50 responses I still need (50 completions of the full survey) to be able to start analysing data for my doctoral dissertation on why people (come to) work when they are ill. The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to respond to (based on current average response time). If you have any more questions please reach out, contact details are at the bottom of the consent form.
