Author:Kanika Maheshwari

Abstract:
Employee absenteeism is a very critical problem in today’s world. It has become of increasing interest for organizations to measure, understand and control absenteeism as much as possible. In the present study, absences were regarded as voluntary or involuntary based on the reasons provided by the employees or supervisors. It was hypothesized that voluntary as opposed to involuntary absenteeism can be predicted by organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and their interactive effect.  Absenteeism is a vital issue that requires immediate attention by both employers and employees. Employees should enjoy the work they are doing and employers on their part should help them in whatever way they can to make their experience a pleasant one. Absenteeism is a habitual pattern of absence from a duty or obligation. Absenteeism among worker is not only important from the point of view of cost concept, but it is important from the point of morale of employees. Frequent absence from the workplace may be indicative of poor morale or of sick building syndrome.
