Modeling employee absenteeism: testing alternative measures and mediated effects based on job satisfaction
以医院员工为样本，检验工作满意度是否在缺勤预测因素与缺勤之间起中介作用，并比较不同缺勤测量指标的解释力。
Using a sample of hospital employees this study addressed whether job satisfaction mediates the relationship between absenteeism predictors and absenteeism and how well absenteeism predictors explained different measures of absenteeism. The results suggest that job satisfaction is not a mediator and that the independent variables explain more variance in records-based time lost than in self-reported time lost or self-reported absence frequency. Implications are discussed in terms of using job satisfaction as a mediator as well as the viability of alternative measures of absenteeism. Copyright © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
