ABSTRACT
Rates of employee absences and the effects of absences on. One reason is that high rates of employee absence may signal weak management and poor labor-management relations. The second reason is that reducing rates of employee absence may be an effective way to improve productivity.

KEYWORDS: students’ performance, teacher absenteeism
