Reviews:

Dilts, Deitsch, and Paul provide a thorough discussion of absenteeism, examining its nature, causes, and effects as well as remedies for absenteeism control. The first part of the book provides an eclectic analyisis of absenteeism from psychological, sociological, jurisprudential, and economic perspectives. The focus of the book then switches from a scholarly to a pragmatic orientation, as the authors establish practical guidelines for developing a workable personnel policy of absenteeism control. Relevant to academicians interested in a scholarly treatment of absenteeism and to practitioners interested in developing a corporate program of absenteeism control.

Description: This book offers a comprehensive analysis of the nature, causes, dimensions, and effects of absenteeism and gives professionals specific guidelines for determining how it affects their particular organization. Economic, psychological, and sociological dimensions are discussed in clear, nontechnical terms. Readers will learn how to analyze absenteeism and measure its direct and indirect costs; how to collect, test, and evaluate data; how to formulate a workable personnel policy; and how to implement effective absenteeism control procedures. The analyses and prescriptions offered are applicable to union and nonunion, blue collar and white collar occupations in virtually any type of industry, agency, or institution. Incorporating the recommendations of arbitrators who have evaluated a wide variety of problems in this area, the authors provide concrete examples of workable and unworkable approaches and bring a wealth of practical expertise to bear on a probelm that continues to pose a major obstacle to greater efficiency and productivity.
