Association of long working hours and health-related productivity loss, and its differential impact by income level: A cross-sectional study of the Korean workers.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

We aimed to explore the association between long working hours and health-related productivity loss (HRPL), due to either sickness, absenteeism or presenteeism, stratified by household income level.

Methods

From January 2020 to February 2020, data were collected using a web-based questionnaire. A total of 4197 participants were randomly selected using the convenience sampling method. The nonparametric association between weekly working hours and HRPL was determined. Subsequently, a stratified analysis was conducted according to household income (1st, 2nd, and 3rd tertiles). Finally, the differences in HRPL of the different working hour groups (<40, 40, 40-51, and ≥52 hours) were investigated using a multivariate linear regression model.
