Abstract

Today's environmental factors influence every aspect of business, be it marketing, finance, operations or human resource. Talent shortage has become a global issue for organisations. One of the major challenges faced by any organisation is the increase in the level of employee attrition. The current study has tried to build a predictive model by using logistic regression and understand the specific factors that lead to attrition. This paper also attempts to compare factors responsible for attrition in two time periods, first period from 1996 to 2008 (Holtom's model) and second period from 2009 to 2016 to find whether any changes have taken place in employees' expectations, which, if not fulfilled, may lead to attrition. An analysis of an IT organisation's data reveal that factors responsible for attrition in the second period have changed, compared to the first period.
