An Empirical Study on Reasons for Employee Absenteeism in Manufacturing Industries, Hyderabad
Abstract
The purpose of this empirical research is to better understand what factors contribute to absenteeism in Hyderabad, India’s industrial sector. One hundred workers from a variety of Hyderabad-based manufacturing firms served as the study’s sample. A questionnaire was used to collect the data, and then descriptive statistics and regression analysis were used to examine the results. The survey found that health problems, personal reasons, and job discontent were the most common causes of absenteeism in Hyderabad’s industrial industry. Salary, work–life balance, and job security were also revealed to be significant contributors to employee absenteeism. The study concludes that to reduce absenteeism, manufacturing businesses in Hyderabad should take measures to enhance the quality of the work environment, expand rewards and incentives, and boost employee engagement. This research adds to the current literature on the topic of absenteeism in India’s industrial industry and offers useful recommendations for managers and policymakers.
