Sumario:People are the key resources in organizations seeking greater competitiveness and market value. The objective of this study is to analyze the relations between the policies and practices of personnel management, sense of justice and absenteeism in the production area, in a scenario of constant search for quality of life. The method covered the primary data collection through survey applied to 90 employees in operational and administrative areas of a medium sized company in the city of São Paulo and were analyzed using structural equation modeling. The results showed that people management policies applied in the studied organization as jobs and wages, benefits and training had no significant influence on the reduction of absenteeism in the organization. We conclude that the reduction of absenteeism is more influenced by the sense of justice and demonstrates that praise by the upper and enhancement of professional and positive feedback are critical for employees wish to remain in the organization.
