Description
The turnover intentions of information technology (IT) professionals have drawn the attention of IS scholars for over 30 years. The pursuit of the contributing factors to turnover intention has yielded a wide range of antecedents which Joseph et al. (2007) summarized in a meta-analysis. A sample of moderators were also uncovered to explain some of the variation in the results of the studies. Despite this meta-analysis, IS researchers continued to identify a disjointed set of antecedents contributing to the turnover intentions of IT professionals. This research aims to re-analyze the studies of turnover intention in the IS literature, and update Joseph et al.’s (2007) meta-analysis. The ultimate goal is to shed light on possible new moderators that can further explain the contradictory results identified in the IT workforce research.
