Comparison of unauthorised absenteeism rates were made between two large textile factories in Isfahan, Iran. The working conditions in the study factory were rather unsatisfactory, unlike the control factory. Comparison showed significantly higher rates for the study factory: the average annual duration per person was 7 days in the study factory versus 2.5 days in the control factory, and lost time percentage was 2.4% in the former versus 0.84% in the control. Inception rate of persons was 0.73 versus 0.48, and point prevalence rates 0.002 versus 0.001, whilst period prevalence rates were 0.016 versus 0.011 for the study and control factories respectively. Examination of the study factory data was made to determine any possible relationship between unauthorised absenteeism rates and age and length of employment. It was found that higher unauthorised rates were found amongst the younger workers, 100% for those age 19 and under, versus 59.6% for those age 50 and over. 9.16% of workers employed for 1--4 years took such leave against 70.14% of those employed for 10 or more years. Only 18.8% of all workers took certified sickness absenteeism and the rate increased with age. It was suggested that worker dissatisfaction toward unsatisfactory working conditions may be expressed in terms of unauthorised absenteeism. In view of the widespread consequences of such absenteeism, it is recommonded that closer attention be paid to improve the quality of working life.
对伊朗伊斯法罕的两家大型纺织厂的擅自缺勤率进行了比较。与对照工厂不同，研究工厂的工作条件相当不尽人意。比较显示，研究工厂的缺勤率明显更高：研究工厂每人每年的平均缺勤天数为7天，而对照工厂为2.5天；研究工厂的工时损失率为2.4%，而对照工厂为0.84%。人员起始率分别为0.73和0.48，点患病率分别为0.002和0.001，而研究工厂和对照工厂的期间患病率分别为0.016和0.011。对研究工厂的数据进行了检查，以确定擅自缺勤率与年龄和工作年限之间是否存在任何可能的关系。结果发现，年轻工人的擅自缺勤率较高，19岁及以下的工人中这一比例为100%，而50岁及以上的工人中这一比例为59.6%。工作1至4年的工人中有9.16%请了这种假，而工作10年或更长时间的工人中这一比例为70.14%。所有工人中只有18.8%的人因有证明的疾病而缺勤，且这一比例随年龄增长而增加。有人认为，工人对不尽人意的工作条件的不满可能表现为擅自缺勤。鉴于这种缺勤的广泛后果，建议更加密切地关注改善工作生活质量。
