Abstract
The objective of this study is to identify and analyze the main factors driving young Moroccan IT professionals to emigrate. Through qualitative exploratory research, we aim to explore the Brain Drain within individuals belonging to the Y and Z generations. The theoretical model of this study was based on Lee's (1996) general framework. The research methodology was based on conducting semi-structured interviews with 22 young IT professionals who have either already emigrated with significant years of experience. This qualitative approach allows us to understand the multifaceted nature of their decision-making process. Through the data analysis, we have identified three dichotomous factors that serve as both push and pull factors, contributing to the phenomenon of brain drain among young IT professionals in Morocco. These factors include economic considerations, professional aspirations and social dynamics. Each factor plays a distinct yet interconnected role in shaping individuals' decisions to emigrate.
本研究旨在确定和分析促使摩洛哥年轻 IT 专业人员移民的主要因素。通过定性探索研究，我们旨在探索属于 Y 和 Z 两代人的人才流失问题。本研究的理论模型基于 Lee（1996 年）的总体框架。研究方法是对 22 名年轻的 IT 专业人士进行半结构化访谈，这些人要么已经移民，要么拥有多年的工作经验。这种定性方法使我们能够了解他们决策过程的多面性。通过数据分析，我们确定了三个二分法因素，它们既是推力因素，也是拉力因素，促成了摩洛哥年轻 IT 专业人员的人才外流现象。这些因素包括经济因素、职业抱负和社会动态。每个因素都在影响个人移民决定的过程中发挥着独特而又相互关联的作用。
