Sumario:Although researchers have studied employee lateness empirically (e.g., S. Adler & J. Golan, 1981; C. W. Clegg, 1983), few have attempted to describe the punctual employee.

Organizational commitment and age of employee's youngest child also distinguished between the groups. Reprinted by permission of the publisher.
