Abstract


Implementing employees is a central part of work activities in a company. Employee presence is a determining factor because the nature of the work that takes place is related to production results. Employees who are in a work environment are required to carry out their duties. The demands of the tasks that must be carried out sometimes cause pressure for employees, and in an effort to overcome this pressure, employees do it in several ways, including by not attending work. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between task demands and the tendency for employee absence from work. The subjects of this study were 380 operator employees, 191 of whom were used as research samples. The data collection method used the Absenteeism Tendency Scale and the Task Demand Scale. From the results of the bivariate correlation, the correlation coefficient (rxy) = 0.586 with p = 0.000 was obtained, and it can be concluded that the higher the task demands, the higher the tendency for employee absence from work.
