- Description:
- The purpose of this study was to examine absenteeism among teachers in three elementary schools and to determine its relationship to teacher morale factors and demographic variables. This study was conducted in three elementary schools in which 102 of the 109 teachers participated. For data collection, an instrument constructed from the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Purdue Teacher Opinionaire (PTO) and a personal data sheet were used. Analysis of data was made by using the Pearson Product Moment Coefficients to test the nine hypotheses. From the findings, administrators and district personnel were advised to become more familiar with absenteeism and staff development techniques. More staff development, initiated by administrators, was recommended for the younger teachers to motivate them and give them self-confidence in managing their classrooms in order to curb their absenteeism.
