Abstract
Presenteeism, a detriment to productivity, is theorized to be associated with work engagement. However, this relationship remains unexplored among Indonesian manufacturing workers. This study aimed to determine the relationship between work engagement and presenteeism in heavy equipment manufacturing workers. This cross-sectional study collected data from 109 workers employed at a heavy equipment manufacturing firm in Jakarta, Indonesia. Presenteeism was evaluated through the Quality and Quantity (QQ) method questionnaire, and work engagement was assessed using the Indonesian version of the Utrecht Work Engagement Scale 9 (UWES-9) questionnaire. Respondents exhibited high work engagement score (median = 5.55) and low presenteeism score (median = 10), showing a significant negative correlation (r = -0.381) between the two. The high work engagement observed among heavy equipment manufacturing workers in Indonesia correlates with a low occurrence of presenteeism.
