Do Sick Coworkers Make us Help Others?: Investigating the Critical Roles of Citizenship Pressure and Psychological Detachment
Abstract
Although researchers have started to uncover the positive effects of presenteeism,
research has yet to unearth the positive implications of coworker presenteeism. We draw from
social information processing theory to hypothesize that coworker presenteeism has a positive
indirect effect on organizational citizenship behaviors directed towards the organization
(OCBOs) and other individuals (OCBIs) via citizenship pressure. Building on these hypotheses,
we further theorize that the indirect effect of coworker presenteeism on OCBOs and OCBIs
differ when employees are psychologically detached from their organization. Based on data
collected using a time-separated research design (n = 277 employees), the results reveal that
coworker presenteeism has a positive indirect effect on both forms of OCBs via citizenship
pressure. The results further demonstrate that the indirect effect of coworker presenteeism on
OCBIs via citizenship pressure strengthens for employees who are psychologically detached
from their organization. Importantly, this research shows that there are positive behavioral
implications associated with coworker presenteeism.
