| description | Absenteeism is absence from work for both
justified and unjustified reasons, a disruptive phenomenon for
business whose trend is constantly and steadily growing. The
causes can be various, such as family problems, health
problems etc. In project-oriented organizations, project team
members are more likely to experience extremely high levels
of job stress which eventually leads to absenteeism.
Consequently, projects can be stopped or delayed if a vital
task was dependent on the inputs of the absent person. The
economic costs associated with absenteeism are high and
significantly affect an organization’s profits. Absenteeism
management is one of the most important strategic human
resource management actions that a project-oriented
organization can implement in order to ensure performance
and success. This paper aims to systematically review the
literature to explain absenteeism in more detail, as well as to
present some of the strategies for managing absenteeism. |
