أسباب غياب المعلمين العمانيين عن الدوام الرسمي في ضوء بعض المتغيرات الديمغرافية

Abstract EN

The purpose of this study was to investigate the reasons of teachers' absenteeism from school in the Sultanate of Oman.

It also examined the effects of some demographic variables on the teachers' absence.

To achieve the objectives of the study, a questionnaire of (75) items was developed.

The items were divided into six domains.

The sample of this study consisted of (660) male and female teachers from different regions in Oman.

The data were statistically analyzed by using means and standard deviations, Pearson correlation, and Multivariate.

The results indicated that the most important reasons of teachers' absenteeism were lack of job satisfaction followed by weakness of teachers' preparation programs, the inefficiency of school facilities, vagueness in rules and regulations related to the profession, and the social, family and health conditions.

The results also showed that there were differences related to gender in favour of males and to the profession experience in favour of smaller number of years experience.

There were also statistically significant differences attributed to the social status in favour of males, bachelor degree holders and those who live outside their home region.(
