This research project is centered around two Master's theses in work and organizational psychology.
The first thesis explores how dysmenorrhea is linked to increased exhaustion through presenteeism and the tendency to work extra hours to compensate for lost productivity. It also investigates whether a medical diagnosis for menstrual pain affects the extent to which individuals with dysmenorrhea engage in presenteeism and take on additional work hours.
The second thesis examines the role of supportive leadership and flexible work arrangements in helping employees address performance challenges associated with dysmenorrhea. Specifically, it analyzes whether flexible work arrangements mediate the relationship between dysmenorrhea and job performance, as well as the moderating effects of leader-member exchange. More detailed information is available on each projects sub-page.
