L’objectif de cette étude était d’examiner le rôle de quatre facteurs de l’environnement de travail au niveau de l’équipe en tant que médiateurs et modérateurs potentiels de la relation entre le travail posté et l’absence pour maladie.

Objective  The aim of this study was to investigate the role of four team-level work environment factors as potential mediators and moderators of the relationship between shiftwork and sickness absence. Methods  In a longitudinal cohort study, we analyze data obtained from 11,842 employees in a large Norwegian hospital using generalized structural equation model estimations. Results  The results did not support a moderation hypothesis. The results did support partial mediation, showing a significant indirect positive relationship between shiftwork and short-term sickness absence via participation, a significant indirect positive relationship between shiftwork and long-term sickness absence via control, and a significant indirect negative relationship between shiftwork and long-term sickness absence via commitment. Conclusions  These results support that differences in available work environment resources may partially explain the increased level of sickness absence among shiftworkers.
