CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK:

Absenteeism is a practice or a habit of being an absence and an

absentee is one who habitually stays away.

- WEBSTERS DICTIONARY

According to PICOARS AND MAYERS: Unexpected absence disturbs

the efficiency of the group as the jobs are inter connected, if one single

man remains absent without prior notice the whole operation process i s

distributed. This Absenteeism results in production losses because, due to

Absenteeism, workers cost increases and thus efficiency of operations is

affected.

Causes of AbsenteeismThe following are the general causes of the Absenteeism

1. Maladjustment with the working conditions:If the working conditions of the company are poor, the workers cannot

adjust themselves with the companys working conditions. Then they prefer to

stay away from the company.

2. Social and religious ceremonies: Social & religious functions divert the workers attention from the

work.

3. Unhealthy working conditionsThe poor and intolerable working conditions in the factories irritate

the working excess heat, noise, either too much or too low lighting, poor

ventilation, dust, smoke cause poor health of the workers. This factory

causes the workers to be absent.

4. Poor welfare facilitiesThough a no of legislation concerning welfare facilities are enacted,

many organizations fail to provide welfare facilitie s. This is either due to

the poor financial position of the companies (or) due to the exploitative

attitude of the employs. The welfare facilities includes poor sanitation,

washing, bathing first aid appliances, ambulance, restrooms drinking

water, canteen, shelter, crches etc.. The dissatisfied worker with these

facilities prefers to be away from the workplace.

5. AlcoholismWorkers mostly prefer to spend money on the consumption of liquor and

enjoyment after getting the wages. Therefore, the rate of absenteeism is

more during the first week every month

6. Low wagesThe low level wages and unplanned expenditure of the workers force then

to borrow heavily. The research studies indicate that workers borrow

more than 10 times of their net pay. Consequently workers fail to repay

the money. Then they try to escape the place in order to avoid the money

lenders. This leads to absenteeism.

7. Maladjustment with job demandsThe fast enhancing technology demand higher level skills from the workers

fail to meet these demands due to their lower level education and/or

absenteeism of training.

8. Unsound personnel policiesThe improper and unrealistic personnel policies result in employee

dissatisfaction. The dissatisfied employee in tune prefers to be away

from the work.

9. Inadequate leave facilitiesThe inadequate leave facilities provided by the employer forces him todepend on ESI leave which allows the workers to be away from the work

for 56 days in a year on half pay.

LITERATURE REVIEW:REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Theoretical background of the Topic:

Absenteeism has been variously defined by the Authorities from time to time.

Thus the term Absenteeism refers to the workers absence from his regular task,

when he is scheduled to work. Any employees stay away from work if he has

taken leave to which he is entitled or on the grounds of sickness or some

accident without any previous sanction of leave.

Nevertheless usually, involuntary lay off, lack of work, authorized leave or

vacation period of work stoppage are not counted as absence. Strikes, lock outs

and late attendance are treated as absence .

Muhammed Muqtada :

The present study seeks to break the silence and understand the impact of sexualharassment on women employed in industrial wage work. Given the lacuna inexisting literature, the study is exploratory in nature. The aim is to open up

questions for further research, as well as build on the existing information base.As such, a major objective is to go beyond statistics and fill gaps in knowledgeby tapping into the everyday experiences of women workers.

Nicky Stanley

The findings made by nicky stenley confirm the literature on the stressesof social work and provide an account of the ways in which the socialworkers sought to reconcile their mental health needs with theirmental health needs with social work agencies to support social workers who

are experiencing depression. Athealth problems to remain in or return to work,the experiences of those social.

S. COLLINSDuring his research he came to know that employee absenteeism as a form ofwithdrawal behavior apart from turnover. Studies examining the psychometric properties of absence measures are reviewed, along with the relationship

between absenteeism and personal, attitudinal, and organizational variables.Studies exploring the relationship between absenteeism and turnover areexamined according to the unit of analysis studied in the research.Programmatic efforts to reduce employee absenteeism are also reviewed.Throughout the paper emphasis is placed on the indices used by investigators tomeasure absenteeism, and the problems that h ave arisen in the literature throughthe use of multiple indicators of absenteeism. The review concludes withsuggestions for research that are of both theoretical and practical concern.

Rationale of the study

Study of Absenteeism among Industrial Worker is not only from view point of

but it is important from the view point of moral of employees. Even though the

effect of the good morale of employees, may not be calculated in terms of costs,

but it should be said that, it is important than cost.

There is a clear relationship between high absenteeism and employees

moral, because it can easily traced that these department having high rate of

absenteeism have low moral.

There is a clear relationship between employees attitude & absen teeism.

They are related to each other. So employees attitude & morale are the

important factors. Labors is Human Factor, therefore consideration shall also be

taken into account in the discussion of problem connected in the absenteeism

has been continuous to be one of the major labors problem in Indian Industries.

As No work No pay is usually the general rule, the loss to workersabsenteeism is quite obvious when the workers fail to attend to the regular

work, there income is reduced and the workers b ecome still poorer. Hence,

Health and efficiency of the worker is affected by the irregularity of the workers

attendance.

The loss of employees and industry is due to absenteeism is still greater

and both efficiency and discipline suffer the maintenance o f additional workers

leads to serious implications.

Thus the above discussions show how the problem of absenteeism is very

important to the organization. So, I have selected this problem of study.

Expected outcome

From the study it has expected that there are many factors influencing the

workers absenteeism, some of them are as follows.

1. The habit of Alcoholism among workers is significant cause ofAbsenteeism,

2. Some may be absent because of ill health family members health andunexpected work etc.

3. Most of the employees may face personal problem it can also be a reasonfor absenteeism.

4.Some of them can be absent because of Boredom in doing assigned job .5. While in workers above 55 years old, the absenteeism is least because they

are going to retire in a few months (or) days.
