Abstract:
A crucial component of organisational development that integrates human resources is employee
performance. Employee engagement positively impacts the success of the organisation. High
employee engagement contributes to higher employee performance levels and effective corporate
goals achievement.
This study was carried out to explore the effects of employee-related variables on employee
absenteeism in a chosen firm in Sri Lanka and to determine the elements that have the most
impact on employee absence. Apart from outlining the need to address employee-related issues
that employees encounter in the workplace.
In a survey that included a structured questionnaire, the researcher was interviewed. 100
questionnaires were randomly distributed to the company's workers. There were 30 questions
covering four distinct elements that have an effect on employee absenteeism. Due to the
researcher's use of a mixed methodology, both qualitative and quantitative data were analysed in
this study. The numeric data was analysed using IBM SPSS statistics software, while the
qualitative analysis was carried out using narrative analysis.
