Abstract: | This study investigates temporal variation in group absence behavior, and the relationship between group absenteeism and the group's positive affective tone. Absenteeism data were obtained from 97 work groups. The group's positive affective tone was measured through two employee opinion surveys. Multi-level regression analyses were carried out. All three change trends explained unique variance in the group absenteeism data. The authors also found that there was significant variation between groups in the strength and direction of the linear and quadratic change trends. Positive affective tone was negatively related to the level of group absenteeism. |
