Remain in Work-What Work-Related Factors Are Associated With Sustainable Work Attendance A General Population-Based Study of Women and Men

• Objective: To analyze if organizational climate and work commitment, demand and control, job strain, social support and physical demands at work are associated with remain in work (RIW), i.e. work attendance without sick-leave over 15 days per year. Methods: This Swedish cross-sectional study was based on 4,013 workers (19–64 years), randomly selected from a general population. Data was collected (2008) through postal questionnaire and registers. Results: Fair organizational climate, the combination of fair organizational climate and fair work commitment, high control and low physical demands was associated with RIW for women and men. Conclusions: This study adds to the rather scarce research findings on factors that promote RIW by identifying work organizational factors and physical prerequisites as being important. Preventive work to create a healthy work environment could be directed at improving organizational climate and reducing physical demands.
