Abstract

Employers have been forced to use more and more creative methods to retain their most skilled IT professionals, as is aimed at helping the IT professional keep their skills current in the fast-paced, dynamic IT environment. Instrumentation has been developed for this study to measure the "fit" between an organization's offerings of training resources and the IT professional's perceived training needs. As such "training climate fit" is conceptualized as a sub-dimension of person-organization fit. A structural equation model is proposed to investigate the relationship between the IT professional's individual factors of self-efficacy, locus of control, training climate fit, and turnover intentions.
