[Job satisfaction and organizational culture as predictors of absenteeism]
Background:
Absenteeism caused by sick leaves generates an important economic burden.
Aim:
To determine if job satisfaction, psychological climate, hierarchic level and age are predictors of absenteeism caused by sick leaves.
Material And Methods:
FOCUS-93 survey that measures organizational culture and the satisfaction scale of Warr, Cook and Wall were distributed to 1387 workers of a hospital and answered by 874. Absenteeism data was obtained from the justified absenteeism registry of the Chilean Health Services.
Results:
Absenteeism is influenced by job satisfaction and organizational culture. Age has no influence. Hierarchic level has a negative influence on absenteeism among men and a negligible effect among women.
Conclusions:
Those workers that are not satisfied with their work have higher rates of absenteeism.
