Absenteeism : a search for correlates
Abstract
The author reviews several researches on "absenteeism''' in order
to formulate hypotheses for his own study. A number of demogra
phic, social, and organisational factors are examined in relation
to absenteeism using primary data from an automobile plant in
Bombay. The findings show that, except for rural-urban back
ground and union involvement, most of the selected variables failed
to show significant association with absenteeism. In both the form
er cases, the findings are in the direction opposite from what is
commonly suggested in the literature.
