Presenteeism of restaurants employees : interaction effects of responsible leadership, organizational commitment and turnover intentions

Abstract EN

Contemporary leaders are often under growing pressure to carry out their responsibilities with a greater sense of urgency.

Responsible leadership (RL) represents an interesting and significant integration for organizational responsibility.

Social responsibility has gained great interest but, there hasn't been much focus on the impact of RL on employees’ outcomes such as presenteeism (PT), organizational commitment (OC), and turnover intentions (TI).

PT or going to work while sick and can't perform at full capacity causes a loss of production and a severe financial impact on organizations.

The objective of the current research was to assess how the PT of restaurant employees interacts with RL, OC, and TI.

Data were obtained from 35 fine dining restaurants in Egypt, Greater Cairo area.

A total of 440 questionnaires were gathered in all.

For the final analysis of data, only 385 surveys were acceptable.

The findings showed that PT, RL, TI all had a significant positive correlation.

Furthermore, a significant negative correlation between PT and OC was also stated.
