This study shows that (1) the perception of inequity is related to intentions to withdraw, i.e. the intent to report sick and the intent to leave, and to actual absence behaviour; (2) deprived employees were less likely to leave the organization when they felt involved in their jobs; (3) deprived employees who perceived an intolerant group absence norm were less apt to report sick.
