Description
Summary:Tardiness is examined as a manifestation of withdrawal, using data from a sample of 173 employees of a printing company located in the midwest. Three sources of tardiness data were used: supervisory ratings, personnel records, and employee self-reports. The results suggest that it may be legitimate to include tardiness within the withdrawal rubric, that tardiness and absenteeism tend to be exhibited by employees simultaneously rather than alternatively, and that tardiness is related to some demographic/background variables, but not to attitudinal variables. Only moderate correspondence is detected among different tardiness measures.
