Locus of Control and Turnover Intention : A Study Among IT Professionals

Author(s) Ms. Lekshmi Chithra, Dr. Prakash Pillai
Country India
Abstract Employee turnover intention remains a critical area of interest for organisational researchers and practitioners, as it directly impacts workforce stability and productivity (Norizan et al.,2023; Clercq, 2022). Employee turnover necessitates spending considerable time and cost to hire new employees. And the costs associated with losing skilled IT professionals can be as much as six times that of other employees in finance or human resources (Harden et al.,2018). IT professionals, being knowledge workers, are known for their drive for intellectual stimulation. This indicates that their occupational commitment weighs over organisational commitment, making turnover frequent among them. Understanding the turnover intention helps to retain valuable employees and keep personnel costs to a minimum. This paper tries to understand how Locus of control (LOC) affects turnover intention among IT professionals. Locus of control is the extent to which individuals think they can control the outcomes of their actions. The study adopts a quantitative approach. A structured questionnaire was distributed among 120 IT professionals, and collected data was analysed using statistical techniques. Results show that employees with an internal locus of control tend to have higher turnover intention.
