İşe Devamsızlığın Nedenleri, Sonuçları ve Örgütler İçin Önemi.

Abstract

ENTEEISM FOR ORGANIZATIONS ABS It is important to study the concept of absenteeism because of both theoretical and practical reasons. From a theoretical perspective, absenteeism represents a common way in which employees may withdraw from their jobs. From a practical perspective, absenteeism is a problem with costly and pervasive implications, not only for effective functioning and productivity, but also for relationships among people within the organization. The aim of the present study is to review the absenteeism literature then to highlight the predictors and consequences of absenteeism. Afterwards, based on the empirical absenteeism literature, several ways are suggested for organizations prevent employee absenteeism.

İŞE DEVAMSIZLIĞIN NEDENLERİ, SONUÇLARI VE ÖRGÜTLER İÇİN ÖNEMİ

Öz

İşe devamsızlık kavramını araştırmak, hem kuramsal hem de pratik nedenlerle önemlidir. Kuramsal açıdan işe devamsızlık, işgörenin kendini işinden uzaklaştırmanın yaygın bir yoludur. Pratik açıdan bakıldığında işe devamsızlık, işletmelere sadece üretim ve verimlilik açısından değil, örgütteki diğer çalışanlarla olan ilişkiler açısından olumsuz etkileri ve maliyeti olan bir sorundur. Bu çalışmanın amacı, işe devamsızlık davranışıyla ilgili çalışmaları gözden geçirmek ve işe devamsızlığa neden olan unsurlar ile işe devamsızlığın sonuçlarını ortaya koymaktır. Daha sonra, geçmiş çalışmalardan elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda, işe devamsızlığı önlemek için alınması gereken tedbirler üzerinde durulmuştur.
