Abstract

Despite of many researches on turnover intention of information technology employees, the IT industry ranks as one of the top five industries with high employee turnover.

The results showed a negative relationship between Job characteristics and turnover intention; employee engagement and turnover intention of IT employees. This implies that intensification of Job characteristics and employee engagement in the organisation would decrease the turnover intention of their employees.
