Abstract : Purpose: This study delves into the relationship between interactive services and presenteeism among Korean service workers, aiming to discern the moderating effects of supervisor support on the relationship. Methods: Utilizing secondary data from the sixth Korean Working Conditions Survey, involving 7,628 service workers, this study conducted logistic moderated regression analysis to scrutinize the moderating effects of supervisor support on the relationship between interactive services and presenteeism. Results: Approximately 10% of workers experienced presenteeism in the previous 12 months. Females, low-educated, elderly, those working long hours, and low-wage workers were more likely to perceive presenteeism. Notably, a statistically significant U-shaped curvilinear relationship was observed between interactive service duration and presenteeism. The results also underscore the moderating role of supervisory support in shaping the relationship between interactive services and presenteeism. Conclusion: The study highlights the significance of supervisor interest and support in promoting workers’ health, thereby not only improving the wellbeing of individual workers but also fostering organizational productivity by reducing presenteeism.

Abstract : Purpose: This qualitative study aimed to explore clinical nurses' experience with desirable handoffs, competencies, and strategies for desirable handoffs. Methods: Between March 4 and June 10, 2023, 13 nurses working shifts in general or tertiary hospitals were divided into two groups. Data were collected through focus group interviews and analyzed using conventional content analysis through coding and thematic identification. Results: Three themes emerged regarding the desired handoff experience: "handoff that allows accurate identification of patient status," "handoff with less time and effort," and "handoff that allows inspection to prevent patient safety accidents." Four competencies required for a desirable handoff were followed: "ability to identify key information," "information utilization," "logical information delivery ability," and "the attitude of trust and respect." Five themes were derived regarding desirable handoff strategies: "understanding standard treatment and nursing processes for each clinical case," "rehearsal and feedback for handoffs," "presenting standards for a desirable handoff," "continuous handoff education," and "ensuring uninterrupted time and space." Conclusion: This study identified desirable handoffs, competencies, and strategies for hospital nurses. This study is significant because it provides basic data for developing an effective handoff program for new nurses.
