Abstract
In the construction sector, employee absenteeism is still a major problem that affects overall productivity, project timeliness, and operational efficiency. The goal of this study is to pinpoint and examine the various aspects that lead to worker absenteeism in the construction industry.
Using a thorough research approach and empirical data, this study looks at a variety of extrinsic and intrinsic factors that affect the absence rates of construction workers. This study attempts to identify the complex interactions between factors influencing absenteeism patterns in this workforce using a combination of quantitative analysis and qualitative insights.
The research methodically examines demographic variables, such as age, gender, length of employment, and educational background, to see how they relate to instances of absence. It also looks into how job-related elements like workload, job satisfaction, perceptions of workplace safety, and organizational culture affect absence trends.
In addition, this study investigates exogenous factors like as socioeconomic variables, seasonal shifts, and regional features that could potentially be involved in the variability of absence rates in the construction sector. All things considered, this study adds concrete data and a better comprehension of the various elements influencing worker absenteeism in the construction sector. Clarifying these elements lays the groundwork for developing customized treatments and policies that promote a more involved and effective workforce in construction environments.
