LITERATURE REVIEWDefining key conceptsAs per the views of Mowdaym, Porter and Steers, (2013) absenteeism is absence ofworkers from their regular task that they are required to conduct in the organization incomparison to the duration they are actually scheduled to work. In other words, it has beendefined by Borgogni and et.al., (2013) that, absenteeism is also related to the absence pfemployees, which is involuntary, due to reason which can be considered as unavoidable from thepart of employees.There are various determinants that will be considered to assess the absenteeism criteria inthe employees. These are:Family: As per the opinion of Brown and et.al., (2014) family plays an important role inabsenteeism of the employees. Issues can be related to child care, elderly care. Divorce ormarriage are the other reasons due to which an individual can take some time off from his /her work.Environment: As per the views of Mudaly and Nkosi, (2015) it is an immediate surroundingin which an individual works. There must be appropriate environment initiated to theemployees in such a manner that they can perform their tasks effectively. Ineffectiveenvironmental setting can initiate changes in the working conditions of the employees andthereby resulting in high rate of absenteeism as well. Jon satisfaction: It is another important aspect, which generally describes the feeling ofemployees, preferences and attitude towards their work. However, the level of satisfactionvaries from employee to employee as well. Health: As per the views of Soane and et.al., (2013) it is considered to be the most occurringreason which result in absenteeism of employees.
