Journal Title: IOSR journal of Business and Management - Year 2018, Vol 20, Issue 1
Abstract
Acquiring and retaining talent has posed a major challenge in recent time, particularly in the IT sector. Professional employees are found to be always on the move today and loyalty and commitment have taken a backseat, not appreciated much either at the individual or the organizational level. In the present paper, an attempt has been made to find out the reasons behind an employee’s intention to leave and also to explore ways to minimize the same. Thus, more specifically, the purpose of the present research effort has been to identify whether there exists any relationship between the level of employee motivation and their intention to leave the job. Employee motivation is determined in line with the expectancy theory of motivation. Employees (n = 155) working in the Information Technology Sector in and around Kolkata were the sample of the present study. The available data seem to indicate that there exists a significant relationship (p<0.034) between employees’ level of motivation and turnover intention. These may be considered while making a strategy for retaining employees in an organization.
