Method Personal Information Form that was designed by the researchers and included questions about participants' age, gender, working age, marital status, management position, and Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6) which was developed by Koopman et al. (2002) was used to test Presenteeism perception in individuals were administered to the participants. A total of 174 voluntary teachers participated in the study; 83 being female teachers (47,7) and 91 being male students (52,3). It was found out that the 39.4% of the participants belonged to 31-35 age group; 35,1% worked 6-10 year, 10,6% had a management position. For the analyses of the data; Portable IBM SPSS Statistics v20 package software was used. Mann-Whitney U test was used in pairwise comparison to explore whether or not Presenteeism perception levels of the teachers differed in terms of personal characteristics while Kruskal Wallis variance analysis statistical method was used for multiple comparisons. Bonferroni-corrected Mann-Whitney U test was employed to know what caused the significant difference. Significance level was accepted as 0.05. Findings It was seen that participant teachers' Stanford Presenteeism Scale (SPS-6) score was 24,402±4,33. When Presenteeism perception of the teachers were assessed in terms of demographic variables; it was noted that Presenteeism perception levels of teachers who were working more than 15 years considerably higher than who were working less than 10 years was concerned (p<0.05). Also there is a significant difference between having a management position and none. Result As a result; when Presenteeism perception of the teachers were compared with the literature; it was concluded that their Presenteeism perception level was within acceptable ranges. And management position, working age, gender and age are the mediators of Presenteeism perception. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
