Abstract

IT scholars have long been interested in the turnover of IT professionals. In their many studies, IT scholars have considered a wide range of predictors of IT turnover including personal characteristics, role constructs, job characteristics, and organizational characteristics. In this paper, we conduct a meta-analysis to summarize this body of research. The objective of this paper is, therefore, to examine the bivariate relationships of predictors with IT turnover. The meta-analytic results on the relationships with turnover are consistent with theory and prior empirical research.
