  • The connection between leader behaviour and employee sickness absence in public administration
    Buzeti, Jernej
    Purpose. The purpose of this study is tofind the connection between leader behaviour and employee sickness absence in public administration.Design/methodology/approach. The research data was ... collected with the help of an onlinequestionnaire. The SPSS statistical programme and structural equation modelling in AMOS were used to analyse the data. Findings. The research was conducted in public administration institutions, and 3,220 employees from public administration were included in the research sample. The author found a negative one-way relationship between certain types of behaviour and sickness absence. The author defines leader behaviour as a multidimensional construct in which each dimension represents a separate cluster of leader behavioural characteristics. Leaders' "progressiveness" is the most important dimension, and a one-point increase in "progressiveness" (five-point scale) leads to a reduction of 2.8 days in sickness absence for one employee. Research limitations/implications. The author focused only on one segment of factors (the behaviour of leaders) that affects sickness absence. To explain the maximum possible measure of thevariability in sickness absence, it would be best to include several different influencing factors.Practical implications. The study represents a structured model of the link between sickness absenceand leader behaviour. With the model, it is possible to determine which behavioural forms of leaders influence sickness absence, where leader behaviour is treated as a complex whole, and not as an individual behavioural characteristic.Originality/value. The study addresses calls for research on the relationship between leader behaviour and employee sickness absence within countries.
