Abstract

The relationship between workers' attitudes and withdrawal from work (by absence and/or voluntary termination) has been the subject of innumerable studies over the past 60 years. Despite the often‐conflicting results, a review of these studies concluded that workers' attitudes are a significant factor in withdrawal from work. A recent study of women manual workers showed that two groups of attitudes seemed to be associated with absence and/or voluntary termination from work.
