Synopsis

Industrial relations researchers Edwards and Whitston (U. of Warwick) suggest that managers, like gradeschool teachers, put a lot of emphasis on attendance. They conducted detailed interviews with over 300 workers, blue and white collar, from the public and private sector, and conclude that the regulation of attendance seems to be a major mechanism for sending messages to workers about what their employers think of them.
