Resumen
BACKGROUND: ABSENTEEISM CAUSED BY SICK LEAVES GENERATES AN IMPORTANT ECONOMIC BURDEN. AIM: TO DETERMINE IF JOB SATISFACTION, PSYCHOLOGICAL CLIMATE, HIERARCHIC LEVEL AND AGE ARE PREDICTORS OF ABSENTEEISM CAUSED BY SICK LEAVES. MATERIAL AND METHODS: FOCUS-93 SURVEY THAT MEASURES ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE AND THE SATISFACTION SCALE OF WARR, COOK AND WALL WERE DISTRIBUTED TO 1387 WORKERS OF A HOSPITAL AND ANSWERED BY 874. ABSENTEEISM DATA WAS OBTAINED FROM THE JUSTIFIED ABSENTEEISM REGISTRY OF THE CHILEAN HEALTH SERVICES. RESULTS: ABSENTEEISM IS INFLUENCED BY JOB SATISFACTION AND ORGANIZATIONAL CULTURE. AGE HAS NO INFLUENCE. HIERARCHIC LEVEL HAS A NEGATIVE INFLUENCE ON ABSENTEEISM AMONG MEN AND A NEGLIGIBLE EFFECT AMONG WOMEN. CONCLUSIONS: THOSE WORKERS THAT ARE NOT SATISFIED WITH THEIR WORK HAVE HIGHER RATES OF ABSENTEEISM.
