Abstract

Our study examines the influence of perceived organizational support and organizational commitment on the absenteeism among public local employees. Research results show that organizational support is a protective factor against absenteeism while calculated organizational commitment is a risk factor for absenteeism. We find that public local employees' absenteeism is the result of their disaffection towards their organization. This research highlights the fact that perceived organizational support is a potential lever in the fight against absenteeism and draws public managers' attention to the counter-productive effects of financial incentive practices on absenteeism. It shows the need, in order to fight effectively against absenteeism, to move towards ethical management practices favoring a supportive working environment in which local public employees can become committed.
