Details

• Personal Author:
  Peters, Robert H. ; Randolph, Robert F.
• Description:
  This report describes several significant problems associated with absenteeism among underground coal miners. The vast empirical literature on employee absenteeism is reviewed, and a conceptual model of the factors that cause absenteeism among miners is presented. Portions of this model were empirically tested by performing correlational and multiple regression analyses on data collected from a group of 64 underground coal miners. The results of these tests are presented and discussed. [Description provided by NIOSH]
