Item type:Publication, From relation to intervention: how supervisors' health-focused intervention behavior relates to employees' sickness absenteeismSickness absenteeism represents a pressing challenge for employees, organizations, and societies. Although leadership is widely recognized as a determinant of employees' health, the relationship between leaders' Health-Focused Intervention Behavior (HFIB) and sickness absenteeism remains insufficiently understood. HFIB denotes leaders' purposeful actions to support employees' recovery, such as initiating health-related dialogue, adapting work conditions, and facilitating access to organizational and medical resources in case of ill-health. Grounded in Conservation of Resources theory, this research pursues three objectives: (1) to examine absenteeism as a theoretically and practically significant outcome of HFIB above and beyond (leader-member exchange) LMX, (2) to investigate preexisting health impairments as an underexplored boundary condition shaping HFIB effectiveness, and (3) to explore the longitudinal development of sickness absenteeism trajectories by assessing individual differences in initial absenteeism (intercept) and change over time (slope) in relation to HFIB. Drawing on multi-source data collected over 18 months, including six waves of sickness absenteeism following the baseline survey, we find that HFIB is negatively associated with sickness absenteeism, even after controlling for LMX, physical strain and respiratory diseases. Moreover, impairment severity moderates this relationship: contrary to expectations, employees with stronger impairments exhibit smaller reductions in sickness absenteeism than those with less severe impairments.Type:journal articleJournal:European Journal of Work and Organizational Psychology - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, How Mentoring Students with Disabilities Shapes Leaders' Inclusivity at WorkDespite the societal and economic importance of disability, entrepreneurship research is at a very nascent stage. However, other closely related fields investigating disability and DEI in established organisations have already accumulated important insights into individuals with disabilities and strategies to facilitate their better inclusion in society and work life. Learning from these more advanced fields is crucial, as it allows entrepreneurship research to benefit from established frameworks and findings while contributing unique insights on innovation, self-employment, and resource constraints. At the same time, DEI and organizational inclusion fields can learn from entrepreneurship research, particularly in understanding how resource constraints and innovative approaches shape the experiences and outcomes of individuals with disabilities. To prevent the fields from growing in silos, we bring together researchers from entrepreneurship, organizational inclusion, and DEI to present ongoing research, foster collaboration, and discuss how the fields can mutually learn from each other to advance a more inclusive understanding of disability.Type:conference contributionJournal:Academy of Management ProceedingsVolume:2025Issue:1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
