Numerous studies have been done to show the correlation of job satisfaction and absenteeism.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Goldberg |first1=Caren B. |last2=Waldman |first2=David A. |title=Modeling employee absenteeism: testing alternative measures and mediated effects based on job satisfaction |journal=Journal of Organizational Behavior |date=2000 |volume=21 |issue=6 |pages=665–676 |id={{ProQuest|224879009}} |doi=10.1002/1099-1379(200009)21:6<665::AID-JOB48>3.0.CO;2-P }}</ref> For example, Goldberg and Waldman looked at absenteeism in two dimensions as total time lost (number of missed days) and the frequency of time lost.

Self-reported data and records-based data were collected and compared. Following absenteeism measures were evaluated according to absenteeism predictors.

#Self-report time lost
#self-reported frequency
#records-based time lost

Only three categories of predictors had a significant relationship ratio and were taken in account further:

* [[Health]]
* [[Wages]]
* Position level

This research results revealed that absenteeism cannot be predicted by job satisfaction, although other studies have found significant relationships.
