A Multivariate Investigation of Employee Absenteeism.

Abstract

Survey data on attitudes and demographic characteristics were collected from 136 full-time and 123 part-time retail employees in seven stores of the same organization. Personal variables were unrelated to absences. Satisfaction with work, pay, and co-workers were predictive of absences but the correlations were small. Examination of organization location effects showed mean differences across stores on several variables and differential validity was observed across stores. Importance of situational factors is discussed. (Author)
