FEMALE VS. MALE ABSENCE RATES: A TEMPORAL ANALYSIS
研究了男性和女性缺勤数据中的时间趋势，发现女性缺勤率高于男性，并验证了时间趋势的重要性。
The purpose of this research is to test the importance of temporal trends within absenteeism data for males and females. The data support previous findings of higher absenteeism rates for women when compared to men. The data also indicate the importance of temporal trends as suggested by Dansereau, Alutto, and Markham (1978). Conclusions are drawn concerning the use of absence rates as dependent variables.
