A total of 771 participants returned valid responses making the valid response rate 87%. The results revealed that career commitment was positively related to job satisfaction, while attendance incentives was negatively related to job satisfaction. Moreover, the more presenteeism they had, the less job satisfaction they felt. Finally presenteeism also mediated the relationship between attendance incentives and job satisfaction.
