Review of Literature
The causes of employee absenteeism are multiple and complex. In efforts to both understand and impact absenteeism, researches and practitioners have focused attention on modifiable risk factors associated with employee illness expecting that changes in the risk factors would result in corresponding changes in absenteeism.
Recent reviews suggest that health risk are associated with absenteeism (Aldana,2001;Reidel,Lynch,Baase,Hymel,and Peterson,2001) .Aldana(2001) concludes that obesity, stress, and the presence of multiple risk factors are associated with increased rates of absenteeism. Aldana(2001) also indicates that the association between absenteeism and over health risk and behaviors such as seat belt use, cholesterol, physical activity hypertension or alcohol abuse remains unclear.
However, the body of literature upon which these conclusions are based is small. Additionally, few of the studies included in his review assess differences in extremely high and low rates of absenteeism. This is important since the vast majority of direct and indirect cost associated with the poor health and attributable to 10-15% of the given population (Yen, Edington, &Writing, 1992).
Unauthorized or unscheduled absenteeism is a problem for every organization or business. It creates cost and productivity problems, puts an unfair burden on the majority of employees who show up for work, ultimately hiders customer satisfaction, and drains the countries economy. Experience show that better attendance is synonymous with better quality, lower cost, and greater productivity(Hazzard,1990).This paper reviews the literature related to absenteeism and suggests how managers can improve their absenteeism rate and, as a result improve productivity.
At least 50% of all employees absenteeism is not caused by bonafide illness or other acceptable reasons. Experts estimate that absenteeism in a U.S results in a loss of over 400million workdays per year-an average of approximately 5.1 days per employee(Cwaltney, 1994).In this U.S one million employees a day will not attend their regularly scheduled work at an estimated annual cost of $40 billion per year (Dalton and Enz,1987).
