Abstract

Teacher absenteeism is a serious problem for school systems. Using an existing model of attendance behavior as a guide, attitudinal, demographic and absenteeism data from 265 secondary teachers were examined. Canonical correlation analysis revealed that absenteeism among teachers was significantly related to distance to work, gender, job involvement, and overall job satisfaction.
