Job satisfaction has also been identified as one of the factors affecting an employee’s motivation to work attendance. There is no universal agreement concerning the relationship between absenteeism and job satisfaction. Some research have found no correlation between these two variables, whereas other studies indicate a weak relationship between these two variables. It has also been suggested that absence and job satisfaction might be more strongly related under some conditions, for instance in the case of blue-collar workers. There is a lack of attention in the literature, however, to injury-related absenteeism, which is a particular type of absenteeism. This paper attempts to fill this gap and examines the effect of job satisfaction on injury-related absenteeism by using Greek and UK data. The empirical results suggest that there is a negative relationship between injury-related absenteeism and job satisfaction. The paper also discusses possible policy measures towards reducing injury-related absenteeism. 17 pp. LOMv1.0 creator LOMv1.0 publisher LOMv1.0 Scientific Coordinator LOMv1.0 Project Executing Organisation 2013-04-14 Digital Library of the Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning" abstract types Text Absenteeism Job satisfaction Labour market participation Occupational Injuries Working conditions http://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/09585192.2013.777678 127833 application/pdf http://repository.edulll.gr/edulll/bitstream/10795/3573/2/3573_1.18_%ce%94%ce%97%ce%9c_14_4_13.pdf URI http://hdl.handle.net/10795/3573 LOMv1.0creator 2016-06-07T07:43:39Z LOMv1.0validator 2016-06-07T07:43:39Z LOMv1.0 gre no no Copyright EYD-EPEDBM (Operational Programme "Education and Lifelong Learning")
