全球最大劳动力管理解决方案商克罗诺思公司最近的一项调查显示,中国和印度的员工更易以生病为借口请假翘班,而法国的员工则很少会这样做。

Chinese and Indian workers are more likely to skip off work under the false pretence1 of illness than their French and Mexican counterparts, a new study showed.

The Kronos Global Absence survey conducted online in July and released this week found that respondents from countries where there is more paid leave for employees were much less likely to cry off(取消前约) work with an invented illness than those from countries with fewer holiday allowances.

The Harris Interactive2 poll commissioned by The Workforce3 Institute asked some 9,500 respondents, about two-thirds of whom were currently employed either full- or part-time, whether they had ever called in sick when they were not actually sick.

Nearly three-quarters, or 71 percent, of respondents in China said they had, followed by India with 62 percent.

But only 16 percent of workers in France said they had done so. In Mexico, 38 percent had.

In between were workers in the United States and Canada, where just over half had. Australia was higher at 58 percent, and Britain lower with 43 percent.

Joyce Maroney, the director of the Workforce Institute, a think tank established by the workforce management solution company Kronos Inc., called the results fascinating.

Maroney noted4 that France has been among the world's leading countries in state-mandated annual leave, with annual holiday allowance minimums coming in at 30 days per year.

"Contrast this with India and China, two of the three countries with the lowest holiday allowance minimums, with India only requiring their employees to take 12 days of annual holiday allowance, and China requiring 10," Maroney said.

"One could surmise5(猜测) that in those countries where more paid time off is given, people are less compelled to call in sick when they are not actually sick."

Far more consistent were the reasons given for staging a personal sick day, with feeling stressed and needing a day off the top response by an overwhelming margin6. Sick children and insufficient7 sick leave were also cited by many.

And just what do workers do with this coveted8(垂涎的) time off? In most of the eight regions surveyed, the top responses were staying home and watching television, and staying in bed.

In India and Mexico, however, folks seemingly prefer socializing to sleep. While watching the tube was a top choice, meeting up with friends or relatives trumped9 more time in bed.

Workers were also asked what employers could do to cut down on such absenteeism(旷工,旷课) , and unfailingly suggested flexible hours as the solution.

Perhaps not surprisingly, nearly half of respondents in China also said more paid time off would help.

French respondents preferred summer Fridays off and were willing to make up the time during the week.
