of unsanitary conditions prevailing there. He is under constant strain, which causes
him serious distress and inefficiency. He is subject to strict discipline and is
ordered by the strangers to do the things, which he cannot understand.
Social and religious functions divert workers from work to social activities. In a
large number of the proportion of absenteeism due to sickness, accident is not as
high as it is due to other causes including social and religious causes.

of causal workers. Health conditions are naturally bad, leading to consequent ill –
health.

welfare provisions is inadequate.

absenteeism among employees. In other words, the yell too much, blame others
words for problems and make others feel that it must be their way / the highway.
