Las múltiples invocaciones al término se mueven en una escala de generalidad en la que la mayor intensión correlaciona negativamente con la extensión. Porque cuando se asimila cualquier ausencia del puesto de trabajo con el absentismo, casi todo cabe; pero el concepto se vuelve vago y se pierde en una mezcolanza de adjetivos que no permiten avanzar en su comprensión. Si por el contrario, sólo denominamos absentismo a las conductas que tengan los atributos básicos, muchas de las definiciones que hemos analizado no versarán sobre absentismo. Pero como contrapartida, tendremos una referencia conceptual desde la que estudiar y afrontar el fenómeno. Para nosotros son tres las condiciones necesarias, aunque no suficientes por sí mismas, que permiten afrontar el absentismo como un fenómeno de interés politológico: la ausencia, la inexistencia de causa habilitante y la improductividad.
The different approaches to absenteeism that have been made from different branches of science: economic, legal, medical and psychosocial, don't help to define the concept and also they contribute to generate confusion. Multiple invocations of the term move on a ladder of generality at which most intension negatively correlated with the extension. Because when any absence from work is assimilated to absenteeism, almost everything fits; but the concept becomes vague and it fates in a jumble of adjectives that do not allow advance to their understanding. However, if we call absenteeism only the behaviors that have the basic attributes, many of the definitions we have discussed will not focus on absenteeism , but in return , we have a conceptual reference from which to study and to approach the phenomenon on public administration. For us, there are three necessary conditions, but not enough by themselves, they can face the phenomenon of absenteeism as a political science interest: the absence, lack of enabling cause and unproductive.
