OBJECTIVES To assess the association between psychosocial risk factors (PSR) and sickness presenteeism (SP) and examine possible differences according to the major axes of inequality in the labour market. METHODS Cross-sectional study based on a representative sample of the Spanish salaried population. RESULTS Although nearly all PSR show crude associations with SP, when adjusted for every other PSR, only the workers exposed to lack of role clarity (aPR = 1.30; 95%CI 1.01-1.68), having role conflicts (aPR = 1.45; 95%CI 1.19-1.77) and lack of sense of community at work (aPR = 1.30; 95%CI 1.06-1.59) show a significant association. CONCLUSIONS After adjusting for all PSR, those significantly associated to SP belong to the interpersonal relationships domain. Some of the PSR effects change according to the segmentation axes analyzed.
