Abstract: The current study was designed to examine the relationships between health-promoting leadership (HPL), psychological detachment, willingness to take sick leave, vacation leave, and FMLA leave, and presenteeism. A self-report survey containing one measure of HPL, one measure of psychological detachment, one measure of willingness to take leave, and three measures of presenteeism was administered to a sample of Amazon Mechanical Turk workers in the United States. Results indicated that HPL was positively related to willingness to take sick leave, vacation leave, and FMLA leave, and negatively related to presenteeism. Psychological detachment was negatively related to presenteeism but not related willingness to take leave. The relationship between HPL and willingness to take leave and the relationship between HPL and presenteeism were not moderated by psychological detachment. Implications regarding these findings and suggestions for future research were also discussed.
