Abstract

Absenteeism is a habitual pattern of absence from a duty or obligation without good reason. Generally, absenteeism is unplanned absences. Absenteeism has been viewed as an indicator of poor individual performance. More recent research seeks to understand absenteeism as an indicator of psychological, medical, or social adjustment to work.
