Which of the following is NOT a factor in absenteeism?

Seasonal changes are typically considered an external factor that may not directly influence the core components of absenteeism within an organization. Absenteeism often stems from internal factors such as the organizational culture and policies, employee attitudes towards their workplace and job responsibilities, and the effects of worker compensation policies on employee motivation and engagement.

While seasonal changes can impact attendance in some industries, they do not fundamentally relate to the innate drivers of absenteeism. Organizational culture can foster a sense of belonging or dissatisfaction that influences attendance, employee attitude directly affects motivation to come to work, and worker compensation can either incentivize attendance or contribute to absenteeism depending on how employees perceive and react to their compensation structure. Thus, when evaluating factors that directly cause or prevent absenteeism, seasonal changes are less relevant compared to these more intrinsic factors.
