The presence of employees in the workplace, despite the signs and symptoms of the disease, represents the phenomenon of presenteeism, the lack of control over which is related to the obvious and hidden costs, such as depression, burnout, deteriorating health. The present study aims to design a conceptual model for the managing presenteeism in organizations’ human resources with the approach of the grounded theory. This study, which is a kind of quality-research strategy and was by grounded theory approach, has been conducted. The statistical population of the study is employees and managers of private companies in the industrial city of Rasht. In this study, purposeful sampling was used to select the sample, which according to the saturation rule, was obtained in the present study using 25 important interviews and continued for up to 30 interviews to be more reliable. Open, axial, and selective coding methods were used to analyze the collected data. The results of the research include identifying causal factors at two levels, contextual conditions at three levels, intervening conditions, strategies and consequences of the presenteeism, and finally designing a model of managing presenteeism. Awareness of the nature of presenteeism helps to find the problem root for the implementation of strategies and mechanisms to overcome the negative consequences of presenteeism and increase the general index of health and productivity.
