This study is concerned with the effects of subunit size and work system interdependence on short-term absenteeism among elementary teachers. The results of the path analyses show that these two structural characteristics have a direct effect on teacher absenteeism. Moreover, these effects persist after total size of the organization and various personal characteristics are taken into account.
