An emerging approach towards intention to quit among IT employees

Abstract

Research on traditional constructs towards intention to quit has been abundant while the impact of activities in professional networking sites and updating of profile in job portals in social media is in its infancy stage. The current research attempts to bridge this gap. Quantitative survey approach was used to collect the data (N = 598). Structural equation model is applied to test the hypothesised model. Cross sectional survey is employed in this research. The findings suggest, a frequent update of profiles in job portals increases the activities in professional networking sites, influencing intention to quit. The study implanted the implications of activities in professional networking sites and profile in job portals towards the identification of hidden behaviour of intention to quit among the respondents.
