INTRODUCTION

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

The psychological modern that discusses this is the withdrawal model with

a name that absenteeism represent individual withdrawal from dissatisfaction

working conditions.his finds empirical support in a negative associationbetween

the absenceand job satisfaction in particular the satisfaction with the work

itself.Factors attributed to absence from work can include stress family related

concerns,works culture,the employees ability to do job and supervisor

subordinate relationship.

Medical based understanding of absenteeism finds support in research

that links absenteeism for medical with mental and behavioral disorders diseases

of the digestive system, neoplasms and diseases of the genitourinary system.

Thisexcludes pregnancy,childbirth,and premium. The cost of this in enroll is 7.43

billion per year for male and 9.66 billion for females .Research allows that over

one trillion dollars are lost annually due to productivity shortages as a result or

medical related absenteeism.The line between psychological and medical

consultation is blurry given that there are positive links between both work stress

and depression and absenteeism depressive tendencies may lie behind some of

the absence ascribed to poor physical health as with adoption of culturally

approved sick role this places the adjective sickness before the word absence

and carries aburden of more proof than is usually offered

 Evidence indicates that absence is generally viewed on mildly deviant

workplace behaviors for example, people tend to hold negative stereotypes of

absentees under report their own absenteeism and believe their own attendance

record is better than that of their peers. Negative attribute about absence than

bring about three outcomes, the behavior is open to social constant sensitive to

social context and is a potential source of workplace conflict.

Absenteeism is a habitual pattern correlated with emotional labor and

personal reasoning but there are resolution to finding ways to alleviate the cause

helley at al, (2016) says stress accounts for twelves percent of absenteeism in

the workplace a year, which is a matter in which the company needs to stay in

communication with the employee and work toward a solution a go cad example

of finding progress is forming an employee assistantship program (EAP) which is

a strategy to help workers deal with issues outside of worth that employees bring

to the workplace (Quinley 2003). This not only involve stress but other mental

health factors that employees deem worthy of attention EAP can help those

employees bring a more positive attitude to work which can allude to the creation

of a positive workplace environment.

Another matter in which employees’ absenteeism can be reduced is

involving the employees’ personal matter (I.E children at home, III family etc.)

and the willingness of the company to be flexible, perfect attendance is hard to

accomplish in the workplace. Outside matters always play factors in absences,

which can be spontaneous and uncontrollable flexibility is a key factor when

working a balanced business and its important for communication to floco

effectively in the workplace. Every company is different and absence in the

workplace should be limited. Effective communication can help in this effort to

avoid problems in the workplace. Absenteeism not only effects the individual

work, but also the company from a group standpoint communication remains to

priority when dealing with absenteeism communicating and willing to work

together to achieve a common goal in a main reason that managing this

effectively are to avoid absenteeism in the workplace. Place absence from work

include schedule time off, retirement and sabbaticals. These absence cause little

to no disruption to work spaces because of the time given to work around the

absence.

Unplanned absence from work is defined as leave that is not planned on

predictable. It includes sick time off, injured time off, special circumstance, and

absence without permission. Unplanned absence satisfaction and commitment.

According to Thomas (2011) there tends to be a higher level of stress with

people who work or interact with narcissist, which in turn increases absenteeism

and staff turnover. Buddy find the same dynamic where there is a corporate

psychopath in the organization.

interpreted.
 After interpreting the processed data, conclusions and recommendations

will be drawn from the significant findings.

of the descriptive correlational study that attempts to identify the rate of

absenteeism on the performanceof students in TVL track.
