The correlation between the psychosocial work environment and the employees’ health, the correlation between the physical environment and the level of sickness absenteeism within the department, and the correlation between the performed housework and these patterns of sickness absenteeism were analyzed in order to answer the purpose of the study. Quantitative empirical data collection methods were used based on a questionnaire that was distributed within the department.
