Abstract

Job turnover among IT workers has been an important issue for employers and employer concern about turnover was heightened during the IT boom of the late 1990s. Job satisfaction studies have suggested that IT professionals are most satisfied when they have new and challenging work that allows them to acquire new skills. However, the application of computing technology may cause skills to become more generally-valued and less firm-specific. This, in-turn, may contribute to a new labor contract between employer and employees which places less value on loyalty and places more of the responsibility for skill management on the worker.
