Determinants of Emplyee Tardiness

In: Work and occupations: an international sociological journal, Band 15, Heft 1, S. 78-95

Abstract

This study uses the Tobit econometrics technique to investigate the correlates of work tardiness in a large national sample of workers. Evidence is found indicating that (1) marriage and years of work experience have negative and significant effects on tardiness, (2) professionals, managers, and persons commuting long distances to work report more days tardy than others, and (3) tardiness is not correlated with absenteeism.
