Absence From Work
Absence may be frequent or occasional.
Main factors involved
- the 31 of employees (e.g. females are likely to have responsibility for children)
- employees’ 32 (but the evidence is inconclusive)
- the 33 of the organisation (absenteeism may be acceptable)
- the type of work (higher absence among employees in 34 )
- the 35 of an employee’s work group
Public sector versus private sector
- Public sector has higher absence levels
- Possible explanation: the public sector is less 36
- Systems may be more bureaucratic because of 37 factors(state controls)
More recent literature suggests public sector organisations usually:
- have a 38 workforce
- provide 39 for longer, with fewer restrictions
- are less likely to 40 employees
