Absence Schema and Managerial Judgment
通过两项研究探讨管理者如何对员工的缺勤行为进行认知分类，发现缺勤总天数和缺勤事件参数是区分优秀与易缺勤员工的关键，而缺勤可控性影响缺勤被报告为请假或邻近休息日的比例。
Two studies investigated the cognitive categorization of absences by managers. In study 1, managers produced absence patterns for hypothetical employees who were labeled as having excellent, typical, uncontrollable, and controllable absence-prone attendance records. In study 2, managers rated the reliability of employees with absence patterns like those found in study 1. Study I found the distinction between excellent and absence-prone employees was related mainly to the total days absent and absence-episode parameters of prototypical absence records. The controllability distinction affected the proportions of absences reported as excused or adjacent to scheduled days off Study 2 obtained results generally consistent with study 1 butfound that the adjacency manipulation produced the hypothesized results only for experienced managers.
