II. Background and Statement of the Problem

The tardiness implies a situation where an individual is coming, occurring or remaining

after correct, usual or expected time. Thus, the term “class tardiness” has been defined as students
not attending lecture on time, missing out initial time from the first period and primarily not being
present in the time set. One of the major causes of lateness is going to bed late because it could
result in waking up late and insufficient rest for the lesson on the next day. (Nakpodia&Daflaghor,
2011; Paren, 2012).Besides, lateness is caused by innate anxiety level of an individual, There are
no positive incentives to be on time as students assume that there will be no constructive activities
happen for the first five minutes of the class. The lack of functional and effective punctuality policy
too causes tardiness. As there are no immediate consequences for being tardy and nothing will
happen .(Sprick& Daniels).Many researchers have indicated that class tardiness is a serious issue.
The amount of time actually spent in the classroom is crucial element of students academic success
. Students who possess regular attendances to school tend to achieve higher grades compared to
those students who are frequently absent (as cited in Jones, 2006). Students are forced to abstain
from the chances to learn. When they are absent from school, arrive late, or cut class. student will
find it arduous to pick up what is being taught in the school in his absence unless he engages in off
campus productively (Wheat 1998). The learning of students who go to class on time is
also regularly interrupted by tardy or frequently absent students who cause class disruptions and
intervene with other students chances to learn (Dinkes; eCampus.net; Marzano; Shupe; U.S.
Department of Education, National Center for Educational Statistics). Studies have shown that one
of the greatest concern among stakeholders in educationist tardiness issue.
Generally, class tardiness is defined as students not attending lecture on time and
not being present in the time set. After attending lectures for a period of time, students start
getting to know the lectures are conducted and therefore assume that there will be no
constructive activities happen for the first few minutes of the lecture. Class tardiness
influences the students themselves as well as others. As generally known, students who
possess regular attendance tend to achieve better results as success is related to one’s
punctuality. Students who are late to class will also cause disruption to other students.
III. Literature Review

This research explores the relationship between school and work tardiness to university
students. School personnel, school boards, parents, and employers who examine this data will have
a better understanding of school tardiness, related school deviant behaviors, and punctuality in a
work setting.
