running of the production process in particular and organization in general. Despite the significance
of employee presence, employee some time fails to report at work place during schedule time,
which is known as absenteeism.

Absenteeism is the practice or habit of being an absence and an absentee is one who
habitually stays away.
Acc to the labour bureau simla,
Absenteeism is the total man shifts lost because of absences as a percentage of the total
number of man shifts scheduled to work

to various countries since time immemorial. The history of vijayanagar empire (ad 1504), one of
Indias celebrated dynasties emphasize that textile was an important trade. Indian geography,
climate, social customs, availability of the raw material etc defines the art of Indian textile.

industry to achieve the targeted production of US$ 85 billion and exports of US$ 50 billion by

INDIAN TEXTILE INDUSTRYS MASSIVE GROWTH PLAN


The Indian textile industry has embarked on an investment programme of US$ 31 billion, for
the financial year 2009-2010 buoyed up by higher investments, production and exports in the postquota regime reflecting the resurgent mood of the Indian textile industry. The Indian Government
has raised the bar on export target for textiles and clothing to US$ 115 billion by the terminal year
of the Eleventh Five Year Plan Period (2011-2012). Indias Textile Minister, Mr. Shankersinh
Vaghela, cited the upsurge of investments in textile sector. Such investments in the textile sector
during the last two years have been witnessing a secular increase, he said adding that investments in
year 2006 were estimated at US$ 6 billion.
The Indian Government is committed to providing the Indian textile industry with adequate
infrastructure facilities and the scheme for integrated textile parks announced after the merger of
two existing schemes had been widely received by the industry. As many as 26 integrated parks
have been sanctioned with a project cost of

Rs 2,430 crore involving investments of more than Rs

export about 50 lakh bales (of Rs 170 kg) against 47 lakh bales exported in financial year 20052006, according to Indias Textile Minister, Mr Shankersinh Vaghela. Indias Textile Ministry has
directed the Cotton Corporation of India (CCI) to be ready to purchase cotton in any State at
minimum support price (MSP) the moment prices dip to the MSP-level. If cotton prices increase
above MSP, CCI would purchase the commodity at commercial prices so that the growers could get

15

remunerative prices for their produce. Except in Andhra Pradesh, the current cotton prices are 3.11
per cent above the MSP. At present, CCI is purchasing cotton, wherever required, at prices higher
than MSP.
Indias State of Gujarat has seen cotton production continuously go up from 30.5 lakh bales

169 lakh bales to 217 lakh bales and now to 235 lakh bales.

INDIAS APPAREL EXPORTERS RECORD DRAMATIC GAINS IN POSTQUOTA TRADING ENVIRONMENT


Indian apparel companies have achieved dramatic success in the first year of quota-free trade,
according to Indias Textile and Apparel Industry. Opportunities for Sourcing and Collaboration, a
new research report from Textile Intelligence, U.K. says. Although China has made bigger gains in
market share, India looks set to be one of the worlds biggest locations for outsourcing textiles and
apparel in the future, now that quotas have been eliminated and the Indian economy has been
opened up to the outside world.
The strong international competitiveness of Indias textile and apparel industry can be
attributed to a number of major factors. Prominent among these, according to the new report, is the
fact that India has a complete supply chain from fibers to finished products. At the start of the
supply chain, India is one of the worlds biggest suppliers of raw cotton. At the end of the chain,
India is capable of supplying large volumes of apparel and home textiles and the quality of its
products in improving all the time.
The Indian textile industry is vertically integrated and new technology is being installed at an
ever expanding rate. Added to that are Indias low labour costs, its experience, entrepreneurship and
strong design skills, and its large domestic market, which cushions export risks. Exports have been
helped by Indian Government which is highly supportive of Indian textile exporters.

The Indian textile industry is also highly flexible, says Textiles Intelligence, U.K. research
study. Large firms are able to export basic apparel products which require large-scale production,
while small and medium size firms can offer high fashion garments, which need to be manufactured
in small quantities and delivered quickly.
Besides apparel and home textiles, Indias Textile and Apparel Industry: Opportunities for
Sourcing, research study of Textiles Intelligence, U.K. examines Indias enormous yarn and fabrics
industry. While serving local needs, this industry has also emerged as a huge exporter and India
now ranks among the top few suppliers in the world. To help foreign companies locate competitive
suppliers in India, the research report profiles a large number of major Indian exporters. These
include 21 apparel exporting firms, six home textile companies and ten yarn and fabric suppliers.

CAUSES OF ABSENTEEISAM
Employees Absenteeism

28

Personal factor
Age, experience, dependents, income etc
A review of ten studies conducted between 1961and 1981 shows relationship between Personal
factors and absenteeism
*

There is no relationship between absenteeism and age, years of service, education, and

distance from residence, religion and socio economic status.


*

There is general tendency of no relationship between marital and absenteeism, one study

(Koshal&kosal, 1973) found single person to be less absent. Women were far less absent than men.
(Kosal & kosal). These studies found negative relationship between income and absenteeism. One
found that absenteeism increased with increasing income (pais, 1981) and other showed that only
* Sharma (1970) found single person to be less absent.
5 to10% increase in income was explained by absenteeism.
While Sharma found more regular workers showed relatively higher interest in union and
were active in unions, Singhal found no relationship between unionization and absenteeism.
Sinha and Gupta should that worker who displayed greater satisfaction of their various
needs tended to be more regular.
High absentees were less satisfied on autonomy and actualization needs, they suffered from
greater anxiety and showed negative co-relation which interpersonal perception, group cohesiveness
and interpersonal communication.
Bhatia and Valecha 1978 found the additional personal factors contributing to chronic
absenteeism
Chronic absentees have taken more loans and advances
Chronic absentees have higher sickness rate
Chronic absentees visited their hometowns more often
Chronic absentees took loan for day-to-day family expenses
Chronic absentees sent money home

Employees Absenteeism

29

Job Factors
A number of work related factors have been found to influence absenteeism India. Job
satisfaction, working condition, super vision and the like has contributed to the absentee behavior.
Sinha and Singh 1961 collected data on 50 workers of high absentee rate (20%) and 50 low
absentee workers (3%) The results show that workers with high absentee rate tended to be relatively

whether, village nexus, and non occupational sickness
Contribute to the absence from work.

of work.

For Employees Who Frequently Absent Are


Employees who are frequently absent without good cause are generally absent due to
numerous frivolous reasons. Employees who are absent for good cause have legitimate reasons, e.g.
sickness or family member illness, and the employee needs time off to resolve their personal
problems. Most employers generally understand the need to be gone from work due to a legitimate
reason; therefore, it is important to communicate clearly and accurately so your employer does not
assume you are out for frivolous reasons.

Guidelines for Absenteeism Control


There are two types of absenteeism, each of which requires a different type of approach.

1. Innocent Absenteeism
Innocent absenteeism refers to employees who are absent for reasons beyond their control;
like sickness and injury. Innocent absenteeism is not culpable which means that it is blameless. In a
labour relations context this means that it cannot be remedied or treated by disciplinary measures.

2. Culpable Absenteeism
Culpable absenteeism refers to employees who are absent without authorization for reasons,
which are within their control. For instance, an employee who is on sick leave even though he/she is
not sick, and it can be proven that the employee was not sick, is guilty of culpable absenteeism.

Managing Absenteeism:
Granting that certain amount of absenteeism is unavoidable, what could be done to control
and minimize its occurrence.
Vaid (1967) reasons, that most of the workers need care and a belongingness, which they
received earlier in joint families; the industrial economy is not able to offer the same to them.
Chand and prakash (1970) based on their study recommended that organizations should regulate the
Employees Absenteeism

32

sick leave by strictly implementing the employee insurance scheme and establishing their own fully
equipped dispensaries and hospitals. Sreedharan Nair (1970) specifies the kind of education that
should be provided to workers. According to him, most workers are not aware of company policies
on leave rules. A knowledge and awareness of these polices can go a long way in curbing the
problem of absenteeism. He suggests introduction of leave bonus, encashment of available leave,
issuing attendance certificates, award for regular workers, and promotions based on attendance are
other important measures for managing absenteeism.
Krishnamurthy (1975) suggests improving the environment of work by providing
recreational facilities; subside in food items, and safety awareness.
Bhatia (1980) feels that instead of drastic clamp down, a gradual improvement in
controlling the absence is more desirable.
The following conclusions can be drawn from these recommendations. Education and
counselling: The organization should make an earnest attempt to disseminate the policies on
absenteeism to each and every worker. They should be educated on the need for attending work and
the consequences for not doing so. Bhatia 1984 studied the effect of counselling on attendance at
work.
A total of 621 habitual absentees were counselled for a period of 8 months. Counselling was
done at two levels one to one for 68 absentees, each session lost in for 22 to 30 minutes; and group
counselling for remainly 553 absentees lasting for two to three days.
To provide an opportunity to habitual absentees to understand themselves
To enhance their personal growth.
To realize a responsibility their work and family
Working Conditions: Studies suggest that better recreation facilities and leisure time activities help
reducing the high absenteeism. Safe working conditions, control on accidents and generally a
supportive environment goes a long way to attract and retain the worker on the job.
Incentives Schemes: An organization can manage its absenteeism by introducing an incentive
scheme. Attendance, leave encashment, recognition of attendance either by certificates or by cash
awards, attendance as criteria for promotion are some of the ways to achieve this. Since many
Employees Absenteeism

33

workers moon light to get more economic returns, scheme that may reduce hard ship may be useful.
Loans, credit facilities cooperative stores, job to family members etc.are ways to manage
absenteeism.

Motivation and Morale: Since workers do not always work for money alone, they should be
provided challenging jobs. Training, job rotation, organizational development activities,
participation in decision-making have been found to induce greater motivation and morale.
Additionally there is need to recognize workers contribution, show of appreciation whenever he
deserves and paying attention to his personal problems would also help to generate the kind of
motivation climate necessary for a worker to look forward to come to work.

Features of Absenteeism: Research studies under taken by different authors reveal the following
features of absenteeism.

The rate of absenteeism is the lowest on payday; it increases considerably on the days
following the payment of wages and bonus.

Absenteeism is generally high among the workers below 25 years of age and those
above 40 years of age.

The rate of absenteeism varies from department to department with in an organization.


Generally it is high in production department

Absenteeism in traditional industries is seasonal in character.

Measures to Minimize Absenteeism:

Selecting the employees by testing them thoroughly regarding their aspirations, value
system, responsibility and sensitiveness.

Improving the communication network, particularly, the upward communication.

Educating the workers

Fraflow of information, exchanging of ideas, problems between subordinate and superior

Providing extensive training, encouraged, special allowances in cash of technological
