Abstract

This study aims to examine the experiences of postmenopausal working women with menopause symptoms in the workplace and the impact of these symptoms on work productivity, based on the Job Demands-Resources model.
Data for this cross-sectional analytical study were collected via an online survey from 144 postmenopausal working women using Personal Information Form, the Menopause Rating Scale, and the Endicott Work Productivity Scale.
In the hierarchical regression analysis, it was determined that age (β=-0.181; p=0.016), field of work (β=-0.208; p=0.003), psychological (β=0.493; p<0.001) and urogenital (β=0.178; p=0.018) symptoms related to menopause were significant predictors of workplace productivity. The model explained 45.9% of the total variance (R²=0.459; p<0.001).
The results highlight the need for workplace interventions, including organizational support and menopause-sensitive policies, to mitigate the negative impact of menopause symptoms on efficiency.
