Group absence behavior and standards: a multilevel analysis

Article Abstract:

This research measured Nicholson and John's concept of the salience of absence climate in terms of absence standards for supervisory groups. Within and between analysis (WABA) was used to determine whether these standards showed group-level effects on absence behavior. With gender controlled, supervisory groups that had perceptions of high external management standards for absence and high internal personal standards also had low levels of absence. Furthermore, the internal personal standards of supervisors significantly predicted absence for entire groups. No plant-level effects were detected. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)

Declining organizational size and increasing unemployment rates: predicting employee absenteeism from within- and between-plant perspectives

Article Abstract:

The impact of increasing unemployment rates and decreasing organizational size on absenteeism was assessed for pooled monthly data from 17 plants over a five-year period. As the organizations became smaller and as local unemployment rates increased, absence rates decreased. Employees also appeared to anticipate economic downturns by decreasing absenteeism in the month prior to changes in unemployment rates. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
