Job satisfaction and Absenteeism[edit]
Numerous research was done to discover the correlation of job satisfaction and absenteeism. 244 employees of a Hospital having different positions, professional and blue collar participated in a following study. Goldberg and Waldman looked at absenteeism in two dimensions as time lost or number of missed days and the frequency it has happened with, to me more precise. Self-reported data and records-based data were collected and compared. Following absenteeism measures were evaluated according to absenteeism predictors.
- Self-report time lost
- self-reported frequency
- records-based time lost
Only three categories of predictors had a significant relationship ratio and were taken in account further:
This research results revealed that absenteeism cannot be predicted by job satisfaction, although many researches are proving opposite hiding details. Authors bring an example of study that compares the intentions of absence with job satisfaction, and not the actual absence.
