A study of the relationship between need satisfaction and absenteeism among managerial personnel

Abstract

Examined the relationship between need satisfaction and absenteeism for a sample of 40 managers in a state organization. The data indicate a positive relationship between dissatisfaction and absenteeism. The larger the need deficiencies, as measured by L. W. Porter's (see record 1963-05789-001 ) questionnaire format, the greater the rate of absenteeism. The relationship between dissatisfaction and absenteeism held when controlling for the effects of hierarchical level. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2025 APA, all rights reserved)
