Abstract:
Evaluating the human resources most effectively is crucially significant for the achievement of the
enterprises. The productivity and achievement of the nurses who play important roles especially in the quality
of health services are of great importance. One of the factors affecting productivity is the disease inherent in
human beings. Continuation of the work despite the illness that negatively affects the productivity of the
employee is called presenteeism and is examined in terms of organizational variables. The purpose of this study
is to reveal the relationships among the presenteeism, climate of fear, perceived organizational support, and
vigor. Data was collected from 418 nurses by survey and analyzed through Structural Equation Model.
According to the results of the analysis, it was determined that climate of fear had positive effect and perceived
organizational support had negative effect on presenteeism. Nevertheless, it was also determined that
presenteeism and perceived organizational support positively affected the affectedness to vigor, and climate of
fear affected negatively. It is determined that the effects of organizational factors on presenteeism are important
and a model is revealed based on these results.
