Absenteísmo em instituições educacionais: revisão das principais causas e estratégias promissoras para melhoria na gestão escolar

Abstract

Work absenteeism results from various reasons such as illnesses, family issues, and dissatisfaction with working conditions, leading to serious consequences like overburdening colleagues, decreased productivity, and higher costs. Additionally, factors such as organizational climate, interpersonal conflicts, and external factors like transportation problems also contribute, affecting the quality of work. In this context, an integrative review was conducted between November 2023 and April 2024, using data from SCIELO and Google Scholar, highlighting the need for effective occupational health management strategies and continuous support to reintegrate workers. The analysis of the work points to a complex problem to be faced by school management, originating from several aspects, among which the mental and physical illness of workers and unfavorable working conditions stand out. Studies highlight the importance of quality of life at work as a factor in reducing absences and the need for specific organizational policies to promote a healthy work environment, thus reducing absenteeism among education professionals. The works analyzed also mention the scarcity of works on this topic, especially in the school environment, highlighting a gap in research in this context.
