N2 - Regarding the COVID-19 outbreak, the WHO’s Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recently pointed out that: “The great advantage we have is that the decisions we all make – as governments, businesses, communities, families, and individuals – can influence the trajectory of this epidemic. We need to remember that with decisive, early action, we can slow down the virus and prevent infections. (…)” (WHO, 2020). This public health problem impacted society at several levels, thus having serious economic, demographic, and behavioral implications. Managers and society now face the adversities of attending work while ill as a complex phenomenon with dramatic implications on people’s lives, wellbeing, and productivity. More than ever, the construct of presenteeism deserves attention in the academic community as it may become more central for individuals and organizations to assume new or different meanings and connotations. It may be even more relevant than ever to distinguish between different types of illnesses related to presenteeism, as well as to different sectors.
