Organizations seek to foster productive and satisfied employees; however, many times employees themselves disengage from their work for a variety of reasons. The most common form of work disengagement is exhibited through withdrawal behaviors. Such behaviors manifest within the workplace and may take either a physical, or psychological, form. Physical behaviors are the most identifiable withdrawal behaviors and take the form of work absenteeism, employee lateness/tardiness, as well as, turnover. Psychologically expressed disengaging behaviors are often considered "lazy" and a "burnt-out"; as individuals tend to become passive, lack creativity, and conduct minimal efforts on the job. Each form of withdrawal behaviors presents a unique challenge to both understanding and interacting with, as well as, providing equilibrium for both the employee and the employer. Unlike many of the topics contained within the Work Attitudes and Motivation Wiki, the topic of withdrawal behaviors is not about examining changes to one’s working environment, or motivation (the independent variable), but about examining the end result of the changes (the dependent variable). It is critical to understand the origin of withdrawal behaviors so one can trace them back to the root cause at an organizational, a team, or an individual level.
