Abstract EN
Purpose.
Anxiety-related problems at work are a serious problem in the occupational context, as they come along with sick leave and problems in work participation.
The aim of this study is to analyse workplace phobic anxiety in nonclinical context using the Job Demands-Resources model.
Methods.
The study involved a sample of 739 workers from a retail company, mostly with permanent contracts.
Structural equation modelling analyses were performed using AMOS software.
Results.
Both the health impairment and motivational variables in the JD-R model were significantly related to workplace phobic anxiety and subsequently to absenteeism, specifically, exhaustion mediated between perceived job demands and workplace phobic anxiety and work engagement mediated between perceived job resources and workplace phobic anxiety.
Moreover, workplace phobic anxiety was significantly positively related to absenteeism.
Conclusions.
Results suggest that workplace phobic anxiety is a specific concept and an important issue in organizations for both workers’ health and the organizational costs linked to absenteeism.
Supervisors and occupational physicians should be aware of workplace phobic anxiety, especially when workers are on sick leave often or for long periods.
