Absenteeism-retention links.

Absenteeism and its relationship to retention was explored using Price and Mueller's 1981 model of turnover. Data were obtained from 71 hospital professionals by two questionnaires comprised of established instruments. Absenteeism data then were collected for six months. An empirical model of absenteeism is proposed that demonstrates the linking variables with retention and also reflects complex associations of intent to stay with turnover and absenteeism. Recommendations for reduction of absenteeism are included.
