目标-评估吸烟状况对客观生产力和缺勤措施的影响;评估吸烟状况对主观生产力措施的影响;并评估主观和客观生产力指标之间的相关性。设计-在工作环境中进行前瞻性队列研究。受试者-约300名员工（100前，当前，和从来没有吸烟者）在美国一家大型航空公司的预订办公室。主要结果measures-Objective生产力和缺勤数据由雇主提供。生产力的主观评估收集使用自我报告工具，健康与工作问卷（HWQ）。结果当前吸烟者有显着更大的缺勤比从未吸烟者，与前吸烟者有中间值;在前吸烟者，缺勤率显着下降，多年后停止。与目前吸烟者相比，前吸烟者在10个客观生产力指标中有7个指标增加，平均增加4.5%。虽然在戒烟后的第一年内，前吸烟者的客观生产力指标与当前吸烟者的指标相比有所下降，但在戒烟后1-4年内，前吸烟者的数值大于当前吸烟者的数值。主观评估的“生产力评价由他人”和“个人生活满意度”显示出显着的趋势，最高值为从不吸烟者，最低的当前吸烟者，和中间的前smokers. Conclusions，工作场所的生产力增加，缺勤率降低前吸烟者相比，目前吸烟者。随着时间的推移，前吸烟者的生产力增加到从不吸烟者的价值观。生产力的主观措施提供了新的生产力评估方法，对吸烟状况敏感的迹象。
Objectives-To: evaluate the impact of smoking status on objective productivity and absenteeism measures; evaluate the impact of smoking status on subjective measures of productivity; and assess the correlation between subjective and objective productivity measures.Design-Prospective cohort study in a workplace environment.Subjects-Approximately 300 employees (100 each of former, current, and never smokers) at a reservation office of a large US airline.Main outcome measures-Objective productivity and absenteeism data were supplied by the employer. Subjective assessments of productivity were collected using a self report instrument, the Health and Work Questionnaire (HWQ).Results-Current smokers had significantly greater absenteeism than did never smokers, with former smokers having intermediate values; among former smokers, absenteeism showed a significant decline with years following cessation. Former smokers showed an increase in seven of 10 objective productivity measures as compared to current smokers, with a mean increase of 4.5%. While objective productivity measures for former smokers decreased compared to measures for current smokers during the first year following cessation, values for former smokers were greater than those for current smokers by 1-4 years following cessation. Subjective assessments of "productivity evaluation by others" and "personal life satisfaction" showed significant trends with highest values for never smokers, lowest for current smokers, and intermediate for former smokers.Conclusions-Workplace productivity is increased and absenteeism is decreased among former smokers as compared to current smokers. Productivity among former smokers increases over time toward values seen among never smokers. Subjective measures of productivity provide indications of novel ways of productivity assessment that are sensitive to smoking status.
