Preferred term

absenteeism  

Definition(s)

  • Absenteeism (alternatively, absence) is an individual's lack of physical presence at a given location and time when there is a social expectation for that person to be there. An absence is a behavioral outcome or state rather than a behavior itself, because many different actions can make up an absence, such as lying on the beach if at the same time a person is expected to conduct a face-to-face meeting with employees. [Source: Encyclopedia of Industrial and Organizational Psychology; Withdrawal Behaviors, Absenteeism]
