1.1 INTRODUCTION TO RESERCH TOPIC
Some Definitions of Absenteeism:

- “Absenteeism” is a practice or a habit of being an “absence” and an
“absentee” is one who habitually stays away.
- WEBSTER’S DICTIONARY
- ‘Absenteeism’ is the failure of a worker to report for work when he is
scheduled to work.
- LABOUR BUREAU SIMLA
Meaning:
Employees’ presence at the work place during the schedule time is highly
essential for the smooth running of the production process in particular and the
organization in general. Despite the significance of presence, employees sometime
fail to report to the work place during the scheduled time, which is known as
“Absenteeism”.
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 is distributed. This
Absenteeism results in production losses because, due to Absenteeism, workers cost
increases and thus efficiency of operations is affected.
Features of Absenteeism:
Research Studies undertaken by different authors reveal the following
features of Absenteeism
i. The rate of Absenteeism is the lowest on pay day; it increases considerably on
the days following the payment of wages and bonus.
ii. Absenteeism is generally high among the workers below 25 years of age and
those above 40 years of age.
iii. The rate of Absenteeism varies from department to department within an
organization.
iv. Absenteeism in traditional industries is seasonal in character.
Types of Absenteeism
Absenteeism is of four types viz….

1. Authorized Absenteeism.
2. Unauthorized Absenteeism.
3. Willful Absenteeism.
4. Absenteeism caused by circumstances beyond one’s control.
1) Authorized Absenteeism
If an employee absents himself from work by taking permission from superior
and applying for leave, such Absenteeism is called authorized Absenteeism.
2) Unauthorized Absenteeism
If any employee absents himself from work without informing or taking
permission and without applying for leave, such absenteeism is called
Unauthorized Absenteeism.
3) Willful Absenteeism
If any employee absents himself from duty willfully, such Absenteeism is
called Willful Absenteeism.
4) Absenteeism caused by circumstances beyond one’s control
If any employee absent himself from duty owing to the circumstances beyond
his control like involvement in accidents (or) sudden sickness, such
absenteeism is called Absenteeism caused by circumstances beyond one’s
control.
Calculations of Absenteeism rate:

Absenteeism can be calculated with the help of the following formula.
Absenteeism rate = No of Mondays lost x 100

No of Mondays scheduled to work
Absenteeism rate can be calculated for different employees and for different
time periods like month & year.
The frequency rate reflects the incidence of absence and is usually expressed
as the no of separate absence in a given period, irrespective of absence. The
frequency rate represents the average no of absence per worker in a given period.
Frequency rate = The no of times in which the leave was availed X 100
Total no of Monday’s schedules to work
Severity rate:
Severity rate is the average length of time lost per absence and is calculated by
using the following.
Severity rate = Total no of days absent during a periodX 100

Total no of times absent during that period
A high severity rate indicates that the employee is absent for longer duration
each time. High frequency and severity rates indicates that the employee is absent
more frequently and for longer duration’s each time resulting in high Absenteeism
even in absolute terms.
Causes of Absenteeism
The 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 company’s 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. Unsatisfactory housing
Conditions at the working place.
4. Industrial housing
The industrial fugue compels workers to remain outside the work place.
5. Unhealthy working conditions
The 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.
6. Poor welfare facilities

Though a no of legislation concerning welfare facilities are enacted, many
organizations fail to provide welfare facilities. 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,
crèches etc.. The dissatisfied worker with these facilities prefers to be away
from the workplace.
7. Alcoholism
Workers 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
8. Indebt ness
The 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.
9. Maladjustment with job demands
The 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.
10. Unsound personnel policies
The improper and unrealistic personnel policies result in employee
dissatisfaction. The dissatisfied employee in tune prefers to be away from the
work.
11. Inadequate leave facilities
The inadequate leave facilities provided by the employer forces him to depend
on ESI leave which allows the workers to be away from the work for 56 days
in a year on half pay.
12. Low level of wages

Wages in some organizations are very poor and they are quite inadequate to
meet the basic needs of the employees. Therefore, employers go for other
employment during their busy seasons and earn more money. Further, some
employees take up part time jobs. Thus the employees resort to moonlighting
and absent themselves from the work.
Categories of Absenteeism
K.N.VAID classified chronic absenteeism to fine categories viz….

1) Entrepreneurs
2) Status seekers
3) Epicureans
4) Family-oriented and
5) The sick and the old.
1) Entrepreneurs
These classes of absenteeism consider that their jobs are very small for their
total interest and personal goals. They engage themselves in other social and
economic activities to fulfill their goals.
2) The status seekers
This type pf Absentees enjoy or perceive a higher ascribed social status and
are keen on maintaining it.
3) The epicureans
The classes of absentees do not like to take up the jobs which demand
initiative responsibilities, discipline and discomfort they wish to have money,
power, and status but are unwilling to work for their achievement.
4) Family-oriented
These types of absentees are often identified with the family activities.
5) The sick and old
These categories of absentees are mostly unhealthy, with a weak constitution or
old people.
Measures to minimize Absenteeism

Absenteeism affects the organization from multiple angles. It severely affects
the production process and the business process. The effect of unauthorized
absenteeism is more compared other types of absenteeism. However, it would be
difficult to completely avoid absenteeism. The management can minimize
absenteeism. The following measures are useful in controlling or minimizing
absenteeism.
1) Selecting the employees by testing them thoroughly regarding their aspirations
value systems, responsibility and sensitiveness.
2) Adopting a humanistic approach in dealing with the personal problems of
employees.
3) Following or proactive approach in identifying and redressing employee
grievances.
4) Providing hygienic working conditions.
5) Providing welfare measures and fringe benefits, balancing the need for the
employee and the ability of the organization.
6) Providing high wages and allowances based on the organizational financial
positions.
7) Impressing the communication network particularly the upward communication.
8) Providing leave facility based on the needs of the employees and organizational
requirement.
9) Providing safety & health measures.
10) Providing cordial human relations & Industrial relations.
11) Educating the workers.
12) Counseling the workers about their carrier, income & expenditure habits &
culture.
13) Free flow of information, exchanging of ideas problems etc... B/w subordinate
& superior.
14) Granting leave and financial assistance liberally in case of sickness of employee
& his family members.
15) Offering attendance bonus & inducements.
16) Providing extensive training, encouragement, special allowance in cash for

technological advancements.
1.2 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.
1.3 STATEMENT OF PROBLEM

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 employee’s attitude & absenteeism. They

are related to each other. So employee’s 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 workers
absenteeism is quite obvious when the workers fail to attend to the regular work, there
income is reduced and the workers become 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 of 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.
