Abstract
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate whether there is a relationship between psychosocial work factors and production loss and whether a potential relationship is mediated by employee health. METHODS: A total of 2095 individuals from 4 different companies were included in this prospective study. Logistic regressions were performed to find psychosocial work factors of relevance for production loss, measured as sickness absence and presenteeism. RESULTS: Psychosocial work factors were significantly related to production loss. Health partly or fully mediated the relationship between psychosocial work factors and production loss. CONCLUSION: Several psychosocial work factors have both a direct and an indirect impact on companies' production loss. To be able to minimize production loss, companies must improve both psychosocial work factors and employees health.
