Objective This explorative, cross-sectional study assessed the association between managers’ attitudes to employee depression and their rating of how common mental disorders (CMDs) affect employee work capacity. Results A principal component analysis was performed for the nine variables concerning managers’ rating of how CMDs can affect work capacity among employees. The analysis resulted in two factors: task-oriented- and relational work capacity. The result of the multivariate analysis of covariance showed a p value of 0.014 (Pillai’s trace) indicating a statistically significant association between managers’ attitudes towards employee depression and managers’ rating of how CMDs affect work capacity. The association was significant for both factors as indicated by the p value of 0.024 for task-oriented work capacity and the p value of 0.007 for relational work capacity. The R2 value was 0.022 for task-oriented work capacity and 0.017 for relational work capacity. We assumed that negative attitudes towards employee depression would be associated with a perception of decreased work capacity among employees with CMDs. The results showed a significant association; however, the effect (~2%) was small. Further studies of manager’s attitudes and other possible determinants of managers’ rating of CMD-related work capacity are needed to better understand these factors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
