Organizational approaches to managing information systems (IS)professionals have been making headlines as technology-intensivebusinesses search for ways to cope with an ever-changing economiclandscape. Consequently, understanding and predicting employeequitting or separation behavior is crucial. We incorporate humancapital theory from economics to form an alternativetheoretical perspective for understanding IS professionals'separation and retention. This shift allows us to focus onprecursors to observed separation, rather than attitudinalprecursors of intentions. We introduce three new constructs:pressure to separate, retention frontiers, and separationthresholds. These constructs provide a basis for identifyingwhen an employee is close to leaving the firm and for a newapproach to analyze the potential effectiveness of action taken bya firm to change separation behavior: pre-implementationretention intervention assessment (PRI-assessment). Weillustrate the application of the new approach using data on theobserved separation behavior of 661 IS professionals at a largemultidivision firm.
