Absenteeism: The data for absenteeism for each participant in this sample was gathered
from HR departments. Specifically, we asked the respective HR departments to provide
the number of scheduled work days missed by each respondent for the last 3 months.
4. Results & Discussion
Inter-correlation among all study variables are shown in Table 1. Correlation analysis
indicates that there is a significant negative relationship between job satisfaction and
turnover (r = -.32, p < .001); and absenteeism (r = -.20, p < .01) respectively. Job stress
was not significantly related to turnover (r = .11, n.s) but it was positively related to
absenteeism (r = .19, p < .01). Similarly, career opportunity had a significant negative
relationship with turnover (r = -.29, p < .001), but it was not related to absenteeism (r = -
.09, n.s).

Further, we conducted multiple regression analysis to test hypotheses 1 to 6. The
regression analysis results for turnover are presented in Table 2, and those for
absenteeism are presented in Table 3. Table 2 shows that job satisfaction and career
opportunities significantly predicted turnover (B = -.25, p
