Work From Home And Its Influence On Turnover Intentions Among IT Professionals

Abstract

The global shift towards remote work, accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, has fundamentally transformed workplace dynamics, particularly within the IT sector. This study investigates the influence of work from home (WFH) on turnover intentions among IT professionals in the Tri-City region. By analyzing data from 200 respondents, the study examines the roles of job satisfaction, organizational support, work-life balance, and career development opportunities in shaping employees' intentions to stay with or leave their current organizations. The findings indicate that higher job satisfaction, robust organizational support, and effective work-life balance are significantly associated with lower turnover intentions, while limited career development opportunities contribute to higher turnover intentions. These insights underscore the importance of a holistic approach to managing remote work environments to enhance employee retention. The study's implications are vital for HR managers and organizational leaders aiming to optimize remote work practices and maintain a committed and productive workforce.
