Abstract

Objective: To describe the factors related to absenteeism of workers with reinstatement from a company in the agro-industrial sector of Valle del Cauca. Methodology: Analytical, observational, retrospective study; carried out on workers from a company in the agro-industrial sector of the municipality of Guacarí (Valle, Colombia). Absenteeism in two groups was retrospectively analyzed: workers with reinstatement (n = 32; 4.7%) and without reinstatement (n = 688; 95.3%). Sociodemographic, work and absenteeism data were collected between January 2010 and December 2011. The association between variables was analyzed with the X 2 test considering alpha = 0.05 and discriminant analysis. Results: The age of the studied population fluctuated between 18 and 61 years (X = 44.7; SD: 10.0). The average seniority in the company was 16 years (SD: 10.5). The vast majority (93%) of workers were men. Greater discriminant power was found (92.3% ¸ wilks lambda 0.982, P_value = 0.026) for the set of variables: age (years), seniority (years), medical consultations (days), paid absenteeism (days), cause absenteeism medical (days). Conclusions: Age, work seniority, paid absenteeism and paid absenteeism for medical reasons are factors associated with greater absenteeism in workers with reinstatement.
