The Absence Culture and Psychological Contract—Who's in Control of Absence?
Abstract
The concepts of absence culture and psychological contract are invoked to explain variations in absence behavior within and between organizations and their subunits. A typology of absence cultures is developed based on the degree of salience of the culture and the level of trust inherent in the psychological contract. An example of an absence culture in transition is provided, and implications for researchers and managers are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
