Abstract :

Employee absenteeism is the precious personal problem that concerns development of the firm. Absenteeism is the failure of employees to report for their work when they were scheduled to the work. Employee absence inside the organization significantly related with job satisfaction and personal characteristics. This research concentrated on 445 police constables from different places in Tamilnadu. Data was collected through structured questionnaires and personal interview. Structured questionnaires include three parts like personal profile, Job descriptive index questionnaires (JDI) and self reported frequency of absents. This research concludes that there is no relation between personal characteristics and absenteeism and there exist direct relationship between job satisfaction and employee absenteeism.
