The connection between absenteeism and attitude is well-documented in various workplace studies. When employees hold a positive attitude towards their job, they are generally more engaged, motivated, and less likely to miss work. A positive work environment fosters a sense of belonging and commitment, which decreases the likelihood of absenteeism. Employees who feel valued and have a positive outlook on their work responsibilities tend to prioritize attendance and maintain a good track record of punctuality.

In contrast, if an employee feels negatively about their job, perhaps due to poor morale, lack of support, or feeling undervalued, they may be more prone to absenteeism as a way to cope with their dissatisfaction or disengagement from their work. Therefore, attitude plays a significant role in influencing attendance and overall job performance. This highlights the importance of fostering a positive workplace culture to reduce absenteeism rates.
