Abstract: It is commonly known that economic stress presents a considerable danger to the health and productivity of workers, particularly during times of economic crisis on a global scale. The study was conducted with the specific objective of determining whether or not one of them, or both of them, are related with one another. We arrived at the conclusion that the stress brought on by the economy may perhaps have a detrimental impact on creativity in both a direct and indirect manner, via an increase in absenteeism. The years 2018 and 2019, the investigation that was carried out as a part of a cross-sectional research study which takes place at a product manufacturing facility. It came to the process of gathering answers for the Stress Questionnaire, the nine-item scale and a single-item questionnaire about absenteeism, there were a total of 578 workers who took part in the process.
