ABSTRACT
When the employees don’t consistently attend their jobs in their workplace at a scheduled time or if their absence is deliberate or unaccounted for with no reliable reason given then its treated as absenteeism. Failure of the employee to attend work during on duty hours can also be termed as absenteeism as per theIndian Factories Act 0f 1948. To understand this problem better a study was undertaken in five garment factories. Sample size taken was one hundred and fifty and simple random sampling was followed.Research gap showed that continued absence might be due to increased work stress, work burnout, exhaustion and disinterest in work. It may also be due to lack of work satisfaction which was rated as one of the main reason for continued absence from the work spot.The research methodology consisted of both primary as well as secondary data .The data analysis was based on the primary data and description method was followed. The objectives consisted of finding out the reasons for absenteeism and whether it was due to the strenuous modern work culture? Suggestions were made regarding the employees who applied for long leave and never turned up on their work spot for along period which was prevalent among the floating population working in garments in Bangalore. Many workers were mentally and physically exhausted and flexi timings and shift system, sick leave facility would ease their tiredness and monotony at work. The management of these organizations have taken many employee friendly measures to ease the work atmosphere and environment such as increasing the wages of the employees from time to time and even paying extra for overtime. The importance of harmonious industrial relations cant be stressed. With both government as well the organizational management not in favour of trade unions post industrial policy of 1991 the workers themselves have to align with their company’s policies and look for ideal ways within organizational framework to solve their work issues.
