Additionally, lessons from absenteeism could be applied to presenteeism. For instance, absenteeism can be defined as voluntary and involuntary, and scholars could consider applying such ideas to presenteeism.

He even refused to kiss a girl, when invited, on the grounds that it was time again to be living. Schedules are sacred to him.”
