Results

Presenteeism scores were positively correlated with subjective fatigue and negative mood states assessed by POMS, and negatively correlated with Stroop test accuracy, positive mood states, and comfort on the Two-Dimensional Mood Scale. Comfort increased significantly after active rest during breaks and after passive rest before the end of the workday.
