Download or read book The Relationships Between Job Characteristics Job Satisfaction and Turnover Intention Among Software Developers written by Timothy Doré and published by Universal-Publishers. This book was released on 2005-03-15 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Software developer turnover can have disastrous effects on an organization due to the loss of business process knowledge, as well as acquired technical skills. Annual rates of turnover in information technology (IT) departments have been estimated at 20% or more with the cost of replacing technology workers ranging from 1.5 to 2.5 times annual salaries. This study purposely focused only on software developers as opposed to IT employees in general due to the critical nature of their work. The factors leading to turnover intention in this field are poorly understood; therefore, this study was designed to further understand the relationships between job characteristics, job satisfaction, and turnover intention among software developers. 326 web surveys were completed that contained questions relating to job characteristics, job satisfaction, turnover intention, and demographic information. The first four job characteristics are specific to software developers while the last five job characteristics and the job satisfaction scales are from the Hackman and Oldham Job Diagnostic Survey (JDS). Two research questions, sixteen hypotheses, and a theoretical path model were developed to understand which job characteristic variables contribute to the various dimensions of job satisfaction and which job satisfaction dimensions contribute to turnover intention. Additionally, the indirect effects of job characteristics through job satisfaction on turnover intention were also determined. The statistical testing consisted of descriptive and inferential statistical analysis. Bivariate correlations are presented, as well as path analysis, an extension of multiple regression analysis. The results of the study uncovered several factors that can influence turnover intention among software developers. Identified in the study as statistically significant job characteristics that can be influenced by management are training, autonomy, feedback, number of developers, task significance, and skill variety. With the results of this study, management can better understand the unique needs of software developers and design development jobs to ensure that these needs are met. The study concludes with implications for practitioners and recommendations for future research.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early literature on IS Job satisfaction has held a very myopic view on the present subject. Thus, this dissertation attempts to test empirically comprehensive model proposed on Job Satisfaction of information system Professionals. The model is an extension and modification of Price and Mueller Model (1993). The model of Job satisfaction in the present study provides the insight into direction of effect for each independent variable (negative and positive) along with their explanatory power towards the dependent variables. The model has been empirically tested in both software and BPO sectors with a sample size of 308 out of which 240 respondents belong to software sector and rest 68 respondents belong to BPO sector. The findings from the generalized results are confirming the findings of the Software sector but it is completely different from the findings of BPO sector. In BPO sectors, social support and stress have high explanatory power determining Job satisfaction of IS professionals. Then it is followed by organizational climate and job characteristics to be explaining variance in job satisfaction to a significant extent.

Download or read book Job Satisfaction written by C. J. Cranny and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this era of frequent corporate restructuring and rapid technological change, successful companies must have employees who are open to innovation and to changing roles, and are able to work together productively. Research shows that employees most likely to be adaptable, cooperative, and productive are those who are satisfied with their jobs. Therefore, it is essential that leaders of American business understand how to enhance job satisfaction within their organizations. In Job Satisfaction, top academic researchers in the field share state-of-the-art information on creating job satisfaction, its resulting benefits, and the risks of having too many employees who are dissatisfied with their jobs. As they show, job satisfaction is also an extremely useful predictor for management. An employee's level of job satisfaction is the single most important piece of data a manager or organizational psychologist can have to predict an employee's rate of absenteeism, decision to resign or retire, desire for union representation, or level of psychological withdrawal. Before they can enhance job satisfaction, managers must understand its components. Research demonstrates that an employee's level of satisfaction is based not only on events in the present and past, but also on his perceptions of the future. Foreseeing future opportunities for advancement, for increased pay, for participation in decision-making, or for networking lead to a high level of job satisfaction. In fact, the authors reveal, perceiving future opportunity can actually be more motivating than actually receiving a raise, getting promoted, or being given additional responsibilities. Job Satisfaction dispels the notion that jobstress necessarily leads to dissatisfaction, and shows how an organization should focus on increasing satisfaction rather than just reducing stress. It is especially important for managers to stimulate job satisfaction by improving their employees' sense of achievement through making tasks and their objectives clear, as well as giving feedback. Academics and managers alike will find Job Satisfaction a source of new and useful information for understanding and enhancing satisfaction on the job.
