| Abstract: | Using a sample of hospital employees, the study addressed whether job satisfaction mediates the relationship btw. absenteeism (herein: abs.) predictors and abs. and how well abs. predictors explained different measures of abs. The results suggest that job satisfaction is not a mediator and that the independent variables explain more variance in records-based time lost than in self-reported time lost or self-reported absence frequency. Implications are discussed in terms of using job satisfaction as a mediator as well as the viability of alternative measures of abs. |
