Objective:

Substantial loss of productivity due to absenteeism is associated with alcohol use. This study examined the associations between absenteeism in the workplace and in schools and binge drinking across various beverage types in the Baltic countries.

Methods:

We utilised a dataset of 3,778 individuals compiled from 2015 to 2016 and performed multiple negative binomial regression analysis with multiple imputations to deal with missing data. Self-reported measures were used for both absenteeism and binge drinking.

Results:

We found evidence to support the claim that absenteeism, in terms of self-reported absence days, is positively associated with self-reported binge drinking, specifically with beer bingeing. On average, beer bingers reported 49% (p < .05) more absences than people who drink alcohol but do not binge on beer. For wine and spirits variables, the estimates indicated positive but statistically insignificant associations. No group differences were identified across gender and education.

Conclusions:

A considerable proportion of days absent from work and from school can be associated with beer bingeing. Therefore, it should be acknowledged that beverage-specific alcohol policies that are more lenient toward beer than other types of alcohol can inadvertently increase absenteeism and decrease workplace productivity.

波罗的海国家自我报告的酗酒与旷工之间的关联

客观的:

由于旷工而导致的生产力大幅下降与饮酒有关。这项研究调查了工作场所和学校的旷工与波罗的海国家各种饮料类型的狂饮之间的关联。

方法:

我们利用从 2015 年到 2016 年编制的 3,778 个人的数据集,并使用多重插补进行多重负二项式回归分析以处理缺失数据。自我报告的措施用于旷工和酗酒。

结果:

我们发现证据支持这样的说法,即就自我报告的缺勤天数而言,旷工与自我报告的暴饮暴食呈正相关,特别是与啤酒暴饮暴食呈正相关。平均而言,啤酒狂欢者的缺勤率比饮酒但不酗酒的人多49% ( p < .05)。对于葡萄酒和烈酒变量,估计值显示出积极但在统计上不显着的关联。在性别和教育方面没有发现群体差异。

结论:

相当大比例的缺勤和缺课天数可能与酗酒有关。因此,应该承认,与其他类型的酒精相比,对啤酒更宽松的特定饮料酒精政策可能会无意中增加缺勤率并降低工作场所的生产力。
