    RATIONALE BEHIND THE STUDY

    Industrial progress is an outcome of mainly of the human and physical resources of th

    production. Sufficient progress has been made in the sphere of physical input such a

    capital and technology. Despite rapid development in technology the desired level o

    economic development and social welfare are yet to be achieved! One of the main cause

    of failure has been underutilization of human resources in the country. Unfortunately th

    rate of progress in our country has not been commensurate with our potential on account

    lack of appropriate work culture. Employer and employed are still looked upon

    adversaries rather than as partners. In the joined endeavors frequent strikes, lockouts an

    other forms of industrial unrest are symptoms of prevailing environment in industry.

    In this project the main purpose of the study was to have a thorough understandinof the theoretical concept and their practical application by being placed in the actual wo

    environment

    To understand their relevance and find the extent to which they are actually bein

    applied in the work situation;

    To have an in-depth knowledge of the function of the organization through actu

    work experience.

    OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

    The project apart from a brief overall review of the organization studies the level o

    absenteeism rate in the organization, referring the general staff of both the managerial an

    non-managerial level of employees. The main issue of concern was related with th

    employees presence rate and how often they find themselves failing in reporting to worat the same time analyzing different causes and other incentives regarding salaries an

    welfare packages offered to them as well as judging the satisfaction level with the

    compensation package, which surely creates a reason for determining their dedicatio

    towards the work.

    This project has also been undertaken to gather the details of employees turn over

    well as examining the general trend within an organization enabling to find an exa

    reason behind the increasing absenteeism rate in the organization.

    Hence, the major objectives of this study were: -

    To identify the prevalence level of the absentees in Varun Beverages Ltd.

    To identify the major causes of the absenteeism at Varun Beverages Ltd.

    To Asses the after effects of absenteeism in Varun Beverages Ltd.

    The project is based on my experience and frequent interaction with the employees

    VBL.

    HYPOTHESIS

    A hypothesis is a proposition, condition or principle which is assumed, perhap

    without belief, in order to draw logical consequences by this method to test its accor

    with facts which are known or may be determined.

    When a researcher observes knows facts and takes up a problem for analysis, h

    first has to start somewhere and this point of start is the hypothesis. In other word

    one has to proceed to formulate tentative solution as soon as the problem to be tackle

    is finalized. These proposed solutions or explanations constitute the hypothesis whic

    the researcher proceeds to test on the basis of fact already known or that can be mad

    known. Even, collection of facts merely for the sake of collecting them will yield n

    fruits; to be fruitful, facts need to be collected such that they are for or against som

    point of view or proposition. Such a point of view or proposition is the hypothesi

    The tentative explanations or solutions are suggested to researcher by something

    the subject matter and by our previous experience.

    Hypothesis testing means to know whether the hypothesis based on the da

    collected is valid or not. The main object of hypothesis testing is whether to accept th

    null hypothesis. Procedure for hypothesis testing deals with steps on the basis o

    which a hypothesis is either rejected or accepted.

    Thus, this study has been primarily carried out to analyse and judge the effec

    and implications of absenteeism among the employees of a bottling plant, both on th

    managerial and the non-managerial section of employees.

    The hypotheses of the study are: -

    Absenteeism affects and reduces organizational productivity.

    Logical outlook towards various problems was more promine

    among regular attendees than absentees.

    Older employees have greater commitment towards their work.

    The hypothesis of this study has been deduced and identified on the basis of the belief th

    employees normally absents themselves from work due to certain unconditional an

    conditional reasons which affects organizational productivity.

    SCOPE OF THE STUDY

    Every employee who takes off in defiance of organization regulation has reasons,

    right or wrong which justify themselves the legitimacy of their actions. Unless a

    management attendance program identifies and addresses the causes of employee

    absenteeism it will be ineffective and unfair. Traditional disciplinary programs alone

    can, at best, give the illusion of control. It is no secret that there are ways to beat even

    the best systems. The fear of discipline often only increases the desire to avoid

    management systems.

    If absenteeism is to be controlled the physical and the emotional needs of

    employees must be addressed. In a 1985 study on Rates of absence among Nurses

    was found that 50% of absenteeism could be controlled through attending employees

    physical and emotional needs.

    CONSTRAINTS OF THE STUDY

    My project is entitled as:

    A study of the level of absenteeism and its causes, at Varun Beverages Ltd.

    (A study conducted at Pepsi Bottling Plant Greater Noida, UP, with special reference to

    managerial and non-managerial categories of employees)

    My project being based on the primary data, I have undergone a session of

    interaction through questionnaire with both the managerial and non-managerial group of

    employees as per the requirement of my project.

    Now, while undergoing the interview process I found certain constraints existing

    thereby in VBL:

    Hiding of some true facts by the respondents due to fear of the management.

    Some of the responses given by the respondents vague i.e. not legible and clear.

    Few of them showed disinterest as they all have a notion that such an investigation

    futile and that they will gain no benefit from it.

    Few of them remained quiet when asked about what suggestions they would like to

    give for future developments and success of VBL.

    Besides all these constraints I have been impressed by the ingenuity, cooperation,

    confidence and efficiency which were reflected through their knowledge and experien

    and still find my journey of interviewing, interesting and people at VBL amiable and

    thus at least I successfully interacted to 70 employees in Varun Beverages Ltd.

    A North Carolina Pharmacist established Pepsi Cola in 1980 as a cure for Dyspeps

    (indigestion). Under the supervision of Mr. Bradhman Pepsis first bottling plant was bui

    1905.

    In 1977, when Coca-cola left the country then Pepsi Co. began to lay plans to ent

    this huge Indian soft drink market. Pepsi working with Indian business groups to see

    government approval for its entry in the India soft drink market. Pepsi offered India

    Government to help in the exports of some of its agricultural products in a volume th

    would cover the cost of importing soft drink concentrate.

    Pepsi Company is established in Indian in 1989. At that particular time it was know

    a non-Cobo (Company owned bottling operations) company. In January 1995 Pepsi too

    over and it is now known as a Cobo (Company owned bottling operations) company.

    joined hands with Voltas Ltd with 60%equity. But now it has become a fully owne

    subsidiary.

    Pepsi Company is broad based food and Beverages Company, serving more than 60%

    of its sales and operation profits from its snack- foods and restaurants business. Establishe

    with a turnover of $ 28 billion in 1989, the companys beverage business has grown 50

    streets ahead of the market; which has expanded by 20%. It poured in vast sums to whip u

    its visibility at the retail level, so that consumes were greeted virtually at very street corn

    by Pepsis blue-red and white colors. Behind the hype, in effort invisible to consumer

    Pepsi pumped in Rs.300 Crore to add muscle to its infrastructure in bottling an

    distribution. This is apart from the money that up grading the plants.

    13/76

    April 1993, Voltas and Punjab Agros equity stakes were bought over converting Pep

    Foods from a joint venture to fully own subsidiary. Weak bottlers who did nit have th

    finance were given massing support in from of interest- free loans to upgrade the

    operations. But the big strategy, which has proved to be winner was the position Peps

    decided taken company owned Bottling operations (COBO). For this another subsidia

    Pepsi co. India Holding was set up as investment vehicle capitalized at $9.5 million.

    export of beverages concentrates. This year Pepsi has achieved a 100% growth in th

    export turnover in the first quart of 1998 over the corresponding period for the previou

    year. Pepsi has taken a lead in the beverage concentrate exports from potential in the ne

    future. Pepsi has also developed agricultural linkages to boot its export thrust and as

    move in the direction, its plant at Sonepat has become the first rice-processing facility i

    At present Pepsi is trying very hard to maintain its position in the market. It is operating i

    a very well managed manner. Some of its strategies it followed to be competitive in th

    market area follows

    EMPOWERMENT

    One of the strongest weapons in the Pepsis armory is the flexibility it has empowered wi

    its people. Every manger and sales person has the authorities to take whatever steps h

    feels will make consumer aware of the brand and increase its consumption.

    CHANNEL MANAGEMENT

    Pepsi has a very well managed distributive system. It is said the Pepsi dont have bottler

    it has partners. Pepsi has a well-aligned bottling network. It operates through COB

    (Company owned bottling operations) and FOBO (Franchise owned Bottling Operations)

    It is this way a Pepsi Co., India Strengthens its marketing that gives it an edge. Ever

    DEFINING ABSENTEEISM

    Absenteeism in short can be defined as a failure to report to work.

    It is likely a symptom of low moral and declining productivity or little involveme

    at work as demonstrated by the employees staying away from work.

    It refers to the failure on the part of employees to report to work through which the

    are scheduled to work. In other words an unauthorized absence constitut

    absenteeism.

    It is referred to here in as failure of employees to report to work when they ar

    scheduled to work.

    UNDERSTANDING ABSENTEEISM OR INTRODUCTION TO ATTENDANC

    MANAGEMENT

    The management of attendance is an important aspect of supervision. The cost absenteeism is greater than the direct payment of wages and benefits made during th

    absence. Organization must also consider he indirect cost of staffing, schedulin

    reframing, lost productivity, diminished moral, turn over, opportunity cost. The indire

    cost often exceeds the direct cost of absenteeism. Effective supervisory efforts

    attendance management will affect a relatively small percentage of employees but wi

    generate substantial savings, increased productivity and moral.

    31

    TYPES OF ABSENTEEISM

    There are two types of absenteeism, each of which requires a different type of approach

    a) INNOCENT ABSENTEEISM: - innocent absenteeism refers to employees who a

    absent for reasons beyond their control sickness and injury. Innocent absenteeism

    not culpable i.e. blameless. In a labor relations context this means that it cannot b

    remedied of or treated by disciplinary measures.

    b) CULPABLE ABSENTEEISM: - it refers to employees who are absent withoauthorization for reasons, which are within their control. For instance, an employe

    who is on sick leave even without being so and it can prove so; he/she is guilty

    culpable absenteeism. To be culpable is to be blameworthy. In labor relation conte

    this means that progressive action can be taken. For the large majority

    employees, absenteeism is legitimate, innocent absenteeism, which occu

    infrequently. Procedures for disciplinary action apply only to culpable absenteeism

    Many organizations rake the view that through the process of individual absente

    counseling and treatment, the majority of employees will overcome their problem

    and return to an acceptable level of regular attendance.

    32

    CALCULATION OF ABSENTEEISM

    The rate of absenteeism is expressed as the percentage of man-days lost through absence t

    the total number of man days scheduled in a given period.

    No. Of Employees Absent * 100

    Absenteeism% = ------------------------------------

    No. Of Employees Present

    No. Of Employees Present = (Avg. No. of workers) *(No. of working days)

    As we know, employees are the 21st century organizations greatest assets. Accountants ar

    even adding human capital to the balance sheet. Absenteeism is a universal problem in an

    industry. It becomes a problem when it exceeds 10% as it disturbs the production schedul

    and creates many problems. Personnel Research studies have further revealed that: -

    The days before and after a holiday are liable to higher rate of absenteeism.

    Employees who belong to local area are absent more often than outsiders.

    Bad weather increases rate of absenteeism, especially among employees who live a

    distant places.

    Employees under the age of 25 years and above the age of 55 years are absent more

    often than those in the age group of 26 to 55 years.

    Operative employees are absent more frequently than the supervisors and managers

    The higher the rate of pay and greater the length of services of the employees\, the

    fewer the absences.

    33

    34/76

    FACTORS CAUSING ABSENTEEISM

    The causes of absenteeism are many and include: -

    Major accidents and illness

    Low morale

    Poor working conditions

    Boredom on the job

    Lack of job satisfaction

    Inadequate leadership and poor supervision Personal problems

    Poor physical fitness

    Inadequate nutrition

    Transportation problems

    The existence of income protection plans

    Stress

    Work load

    Employee discontent with a collective bargaining process and its results.

    Although both pschyiological and non- pschyiological factors contribute to it, the finding

    of Indian studies appear to have somewhat greater emphasis on non-pschyiological ones.

    The workers in Indian industries found that chron

    absenteeism was related to: -1. The extent of workers identification with the company.

    2. Integration with work group.

    3. Satisfaction with supervisors.

    4. Belief in the future of the company.

    34

  • 8/7/2019 pepsi project project

    35/76

    On the other hand there are few psychological factors as th

    major causes of absenteeism of Indian industrial workers. Such factors are poor healt

    transport difficulty, do chores, and indebtness etc.

    Lets have a tabular evaluation of the: -

    Thus above cases reveal that how an effect of alcohol severely affects the presence

    of employees leading to absenteeism

    HOW ABSENTEEISM CAN BE CONTROLLED

    The definition of absenteeism, factors affecting and its causes are quite clear. What is no

    so clear is how to take affirmative actions to control it. Traditional methods of absenteeis

    control based only on disciplinary procedures have proven to be ineffective. It is almo

    impossible to create a fair disciplinary action because even well run disciplinary system

    which treat which treat similar actions in consistently similar ways are seen as unfair. Th

    reason for this is discipline alone usually identifies the root cause of absenteeism. Ever

    employee who takes time off in defiance of company regulations has reasons, right

    wrong which justify to themselves the legitimacy of their actions. Unless the managemen

    attendance programme identifies and addresses the cause of employees absenteeism it w

    be ineffective and unfair. Now, if absenteeism is to be controlled the physical and physic

    and emotional needs of employees must be addressed.

    The purpose of attendance management is to develop a willingness on the part of a

    our employees to attend work regularly and to assist them in motivating their c

    workers to attend work regularly. Now, this can be done by-1. Addressing the physical and emotional needs of our employees.

    2. Communicating the attendance goals of the organization so employees ca

    understand and identify with them.

    3. Dealing with cases of excessive absenteeism effectively and fairly so deterren

    can occur.

    the factory rather than stay at home and waste their time.Moreover, the management mu

    have a safety plan, implement it and evaluate its effectiveness.

    Administrative cost-

    1. Staff time is required to secure replacement employees.

    2. Staff time is required to maintain and control absenteeism.

    DO ABSENTEEISM IS REALLY BAD?

    Although most absenteeism has a negative impact on the organization, we ca

    conceive of situations in which the organization may benefit by an employee

    voluntarily choosing not to come to work. For instance, illness, fatigue or exce

    stress can significantly decrease an employees productivity. In jobs in which a

    employee needs to be alert it may well be better for the organization if th

    employees does not report to work rather than show up and perform poorly. The co

    of an accident in such jobs could be prohibitive. Even in the management jobwhere mistakes are less spectacular, performance may be improved. When manage

    are absent themselves from jobs rather than make a poor decision under stress. Bu

    these examples are clearly a typical for the most past, we can assume th

    organization benefits when employee absenteeism is low!!

    CONCLUSION

    Recent surveys have shown: -

    - The higher the rate of pays the greater the length of service of th

    employee, the fewer the absence.

    - As an organization grows, there is a tendency towards higher rate

    absenteeism.

    - Women are absent more frequent than men.

    - Single employees are absent more frequently than married employees.- Younger employees are absent more frequently than older employees b

    the latter are absent for longer period of time.

    - Unionized organization has higher absenteeism rates than non-unio

    organizations.

    - Logical outlook towards various problems was more prominent amon

    regular attendees than absentees.

    - Emotionally surcharged statements were more frequent among absentees.

    - Absentee group was found to have indifferent attitude, whereas regul

    worker showed more critical thinking towards their work.

    Attendance improvement programs can work! What the employees want is commitme

    and support from all levels of management, an effective attendance record-keeping system

    consultation and open communication on the reasons for the attendance programs.

    Implementing and maintaining a work environment where open communication and tea

    spirit can thrive will at first sometimes seem a mammoth and unrealistic task. If you nee

    encouragement just consider some of the benefits; reduced absenteeism, ope

    communication, team spirit, advanced grievances and greater employee satisfaction.

    RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

    Research in common parlance refers to a search for knowledge. One can also defin

    research as a scientific and systematic search for pertinent information on a specif

    topic. In fact, research is an art of scientific investigation. It is the pursuit of truth wi

    the help of studies, observation, comparison and experiment. In short the search fo

    knowledge through objective and systematic method of finding solution to a proble

    is research.

    According to Clifford Woody, Research comprises defining and redefinin

    problems, formulating hypothesis or suggested solutions, collecting, organizing an

    evaluating data, making deductions and reaching conclusions to determine whethe

    they fit the formulating hypothesis.

    RESEARCH DESIGN

    A research design is an arrangement of conditions for connections and analysis of da

    in a manner that aims to combine relevance to the research purpose with economy procedure. Research design is a plan that specifies the sources and types

    information relevant to the research problem. It is a strategy specifying whic

    approach will be used for gathering and analyzing the data. In fact, it is the conceptu

    structure with which research is conducted; it constitutes the blue print for th

    collection, measurement and analysis of data. The plan is an outline to researc

    scheme on which the researcher id to work. The structure of the research is a mor

    specific outline or the scheme. The strategy shows how the research will be carrie

    out, specifying the method to be used in collecting data.

    TYPES OF RESEARCH DESIGN

    Research design is mainly of three types: -

    1. Exploratory research

    SAMPLING DESIGN

    Sampling is used to collect primary data when the source of data is far too many to b

    exhausting handled. Sampling is the integral part of data collection process.

    The way of selecting a sample is known as sample design. It is the definite pla

    for obtaining a sample from a given population. It may as well lay down the numbe

    of items to be included in the sample i.e. the size of the sample.

    Sample design is determined before data are collected.

    METHODS OF DATA COLLECTIONThe key for useful systems is the selection of the method for collecting data and

    linking it to analysis and decision issue of the action to be taken. The accuracy of the

    collected data is of great importance for drawing correct and valid conclusion from

    detailed investigations.

    There are two types of data viz. primary and secondary.

    PRIMARY DATA

    The primary data are those, which are collected afresh and for the first time, and thus

    happen to be original in character. There are several methods of collecting primary

    data, particularly in survey and descriptive research. Some important ones are

    observation method, interview method, through questionnaire, through schedules etc

    SECONDARY DATA

    Secondary data means, data that are already available that is they refer to the data

    which have already been collected and analyzed by someone else and which have

    already been passed through the statistical process. Secondary data may either be

    published data or unpublished data and can be gathered through Internet, books,

    magazines, manuals, journals etc.45

    In this study I have used Structural Questionnaire for collecting primary data. I

    have also made frequent interaction with the management and the employees during

    my training at Varun Beverages Ltd.

    FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

    Conducting a questionnaire based on the level of absenteeism and its causes at Varun

    Beverages Ltd. Of both the managers and the non-managers, facts that can be derived are

    Youngsters are more privileged with job options in VBL.

    Managers as well as the employees of VBL are completely dedicated and

    devoted towards their sphere of activities.

    Both the managers and the workers consider absenteeism as an incorrigible

    problem, which is found more likely to be beyond their control.

    Most of the employees of VBL are educated and packed with completeknowledge of their work profile.

    Both the sections consider salary as an important incentive in curing

    increasing absenteeism rate and there in VBL they are facing problems with

    low salary.

    Non of the employees at VBL want to be called as an absentee and wants to

    contribute his maximum and pay their best efforts towards increasing the

    product ional activity as well as progress of Pepsi group.

    Thus, all our hypothesis namely:

    Absenteeism affects and reduces organizational productivity.

    Logical outlook towards various problems was more prominent among regu

    attendees than absentees.

    Older employees have greater commitment towards their work.

    Proved to be true and authentic!

    There was found to be very low job security amongst employees.

    The salary of most of the people could satisfy either their basic needs only, or their

    needs as well as reserve requirements.

    Most of the people employed at Pepsi felt that their colleges possessing

    approximately equal qualifications and experiences working in other firms were

    drawing more salary than them.

    Frequent biases can be witnessed in the plant.

    SUGGESTIONS

    With all the theoretical knowledge and practical experience I posses, I would like to

    suggest the following-:

    To increase the awareness level of employees working at Pepsi with regards

    various things like number of earned leaves.

    To improve upon their Grievance redresser programme should be conducted

    To bring a sense of job security among the employees.

    They should be provided with welfare activities in absolute terms.

    Trainings and development program should be conducted more seriously.

    Rules and regulations of the enterprise or that of the plant should be made

    clearer to every employee working in VBL and it should be insured that they

    abide to the same.
