| Abstract: | Organizational approaches to managing information systems (IS) professionals have been making headlines as technology-intensive business search for ways to cope with a with an ever-changing economic landscape. Consequently, understanding and predicting employee quitting or separation behavior is crucial. Authors incorporate human capital theory from economics to form an alternative theoretical perspective for understanding IS professionals' separation and retention. This shift allows us to focus on precursors to observed separation, rather than attitudinal precursors of intentions. Authors introduce three new constructs: pressure to separate, retention frontiers, and separation thresholds. |
