The cost of employee leaving the organization is very high in IT industry and hence we must understand the reason
for this attrition which will help organization evolve and be more profitable. Our Research aims to find the important
factors responsible for dissatisfaction of Human Resource in an organization and thereby measuring its effect on
Attrition rate.
In our Research we used Questionnaire as a tool to collect information from forty five Software professional. The
analysis of survey showed different Problems of the IT professional and was also a measure of their dissatisfaction
level about various factors. The Research hints on the fact that dissatisfaction among Human resource do exists in IT
industry and it has led to Attrition. Attrition rate can be defined as reduction of employees through Death, Retirement,
or Resignation. In recent time Attrition rate in IT industry is growing at a rapid rate and it has been a great threat to
industries.

Software industry is acknowledged as an important engine of economic growth for many developing and under
developed countries. Software development is a service that is both labor and knowledge intensive. The human
resources are the greatest asset is a general statement, often heard in corporate boardrooms is true in most of the
industries. However, nowhere are human resources as critically important as in the software sector. Human
resources are not only the drivers and principal value creators of the output of this industry; they are also the
intellectual capital or the infrastructure investment. Therefore, attracting, training, retaining and motivating
employees are the critical success determinants of the software industry. With the ongoing slowdown in Europe
and US, the software industry is again in limelight with its key HR issues. The industry is employee oriented. The
employees are its key resource. Their competence and enthusiasm plays a great role in success of the industry.
Software is a wealth and job creating industry, which has in just a few years, grown to US $ 1 trillion, employing
millions of professionals worldwide. The Indian software industry has burgeoned, showing a nearly 50%
compounded annual growth rate over the recent years [1. Human Resource Challenges & Practices in IT
Industry by Rakesh S. Patil, Varsha Patil and Pratibha Waje-Abstract]. Being a knowledge-based industry, a
high intellectual capital lends competitive advantage to a firm. Intellectual capital comprises human capital and
any created bit of knowledge or expertise. With a global explosion in market-opportunities in the software
industry, the shortage of manpower both in numbers and skills is a prime challenge for HR professionals. The
related issues are varied indeed: recruitment of world-class workforce and their retention, compensation and career
planning, technological obsolescence and employee turnover.
1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT:

OUR RESEARCH IS AN EXPLORATORY STUDY REGARDING HUMAN RESOURCE ISSUES FACED BY
SOFTWARE EMPLOYEES.
1.2 RESEARCH QUESTION:

WHAT ARE THE FACTORS CAUSING DISSATISFACTION AMONG EMPLOYEES FOR LEAVING
SOFTWARE ORGANIZATION?
1.3 LITERATURE REVIEW:

The issues in the Human resource management of the software industry shall be addressed by both the
governmental policies as well as the big players in the industry.
If a company spends a large part of its time in motivating the employees and its problems, then the Software
Company would not run a long way. Now-a-days, top Software Companies in India have adopted a new way
policy that of an Employee Manual Builder. It saves the company in almost thousand dollars spent on employee
recruitment as well and many other internal problems arrived in a Software Outsourcing Company. There are
many suggestions given by the various authors, who are usually running the top software outsourcing companies
of India, sharing their views and experience regarding the HR policies and carried on personnel management
work. They talk about many experiences felt and experienced when in conversed with project leaders, the IT
managers and the employee relationship. Such suggestions and issues help the Software Outsourcing Company to
develop a reader-friendly manual which spends less time in handling personnel issues and more time in running
the company or any department. It is essential that software industry work with academic institutions in the
continuous updating of syllabi and ensuring relevance. Industry could also provide attachments and internships to
both students and faculty so as to create greater motivation. Well-funded chairs and research grants will serve to
attract and retain good faculty. Effective Communication is regarded as most accepted way of handling any tough
experience in the software industry. The expectations of the employees are taken into consideration, and the
policies are improved upon in the top software companies in India. There are written employee handbooks which
will re-vamp to a great extend the morale and increase productivity of the employees as well as keeping the
outsourcing company out of the legal restrictions. The book also states code of conducts to be maintained in
Software Company, that each and every employee needs to follow. Good language skills: (particularly English,
but potentially also in Spanish, French, German and Japanese) is one of the requirements for booming the sector,
and one of the opportunities for the education system, including private training institutions. So far, this industry
has been concentrated in just 4 or 5 of the metros. Its long term growth, however, depends upon moving large
parts of its operations to smaller cities. One of the major challenges is to find enough people with good language
skills in these cities. This is potentially a major problem for the whole industry. So our policy makers shall give
prominent importance to address these issues. Building Global Organizations: As Indian IT companies grow, and
enter new geographies, they will need to become truly international [2. Indian Software Sector Need for HR
Process Re-engineering by V. Anoop Kumar and Dr. R. Ganesan.SUGGESTIONS (Page 4) Paragraph 7].
Their delivery models too will need this, as customers push for multi-country disaster recovery sites. These
factors, and the possibility of inorganic growth by acquiring foreign companies, will all dictate the increasing
globalization of Indian IT companies.
1. To do this successfully, they will have to modify and adapt their structure and organizational culture to be able
to absorb and draw the best from professionals of different nationalities and cultures. A basic change in mindset is needed for this to happen successfully, and this is a major challenge for home-grown, very "Indian"
companies: how to transform into global corporations without losing the positive values and culture that they
have developed.
2.
The Indian software export market is in the right path and the domestic software market has moved
beyond single digit growth to enter the double-digit phase over the past two years. The domestic market, which
has traditionally lagged behind the exports segment, has shown promising growth in the recent years,
emphasizing need for the software industry to re-look at this market and the potential business opportunities it
offers. The domestic market growth was stimulated by a drop in prices, resulting in larger volume growth
compared to last year. So we have better opportunities than many other developing or even developed
countries with regard to human resources. If there is a better policy and implementation to solve the HR
challenges discussed here, there is no doubt we will become the masters in the software industry globally.
2.1 SAMPLING DESIGN

In our research, we use Non-Probability Sampling. The sample is not a proportion of the population and there is no
system in selecting the sample. The selection depends upon the situation. No assurance is given that each item has a
chance of being included as a sample. There is an assumption that there is an even distribution of characteristics
within the population, believing that any sample would be representative.
The type of Non-Probability Sampling we used is Convenience Sampling. Here, the process of picking out people
in the most convenient and fastest way to immediately get their reactions to a certain hot and controversial issue. It is
not representative of target population because samples are selected if they can be accessed easily and conveniently.
The advantage is easy to use and the disadvantage is bias is present. It could deliver accurate results when the
population is homogeneous.
STEPS OF SAMPLING DESIGN:
1. Target population is the aggregation of elements (members of the population) from which the sample is
actually selected.
2. Parameters are summary description of a given variable in a population.
3. Sampling frame is the list of elements from which the sample is actually drawn. (Complete and correct list of
population members only.)
4. Choosing appropriate sampling method. Here, it is Non-Probability sampling method and in this Convenience
Sampling.
5. Approximate size of sample is decided. (There are no fixed rules in determining the size of a sample needed.)
2.2 RESEARCH DESIGN

OUTLINE: We did an Exploratory Research which seeks to generate a posteriori hypotheses by examining a data-set
and looking for potential relations between variables. It is also possible to have an idea about a relation between
variables but to lack of knowledge of the direction and strength of the relation. In other words, we want to see whether
some of measured variables could be related and would want to increase the chances of finding a significant result.
PROCESS: The data is collected by sending a questionnaire to software employees of different software companies
from different places of India. We received 45 responses.
INSTRUMENTS: After getting the responses, we used several Multivariate Analysis techniques like Factor Analysis,
Correlation and Linear Regression Analysis.
MEANS: We want to measure the Overall Satisfaction level of the software employees with respect to variables like .

From the above table, we can see that the first 4 factors satisfy the
condition (<0.05).
2.5 LIMITATIONS
It is a non-probabilistic sampling, so the sample is not a proportion of the population and there is no system in
selecting the sample.
Our number of responses is 45 which are very low.
We had only 2 months which is very less time.
From the results we named the 5 factors as follows:
Factor 1: Overall Satisfaction

Factor 2: Growth with time
Factor 3: Scope & new ideas
Factor 4: Profile
Factor 5: Salary
We can see that Factor 1 consists of main variables which are contributing to the Overall Satisfaction of an individual:
Career Advancement Opportunities

Rewards and Recognition
Work & Life Balance
Job Security
Clearly defined job description
Motivation, Appreciation from the supervisor
Communication from superiors
Working Environment
You are valued by the company
Efficient Management System
We can see that Factor 2 consists of main variables which are contributing to the Growth with time of an individual:
Experience
Current Annual Salary
We can see that Factor 3 consists of main variables which are contributing to the Scope & new ideas of an individual:
You are valued by company

You are encouraged to experiment with new methods/ideas
We can see that Factor 4 consists of main variables which are contributing to the Profile of an individual:
Profile in which you are working
We can see that Factor 5 consists of main variables which are contributing to the Salary of an individual:

The growing attrition is definitely a threat towards any industry. The threat increases more in case of IT industry as
the cost of attrition is more in this type of industries. Our research showed that employee dissatisfaction is a major
factor in employees decision of changing the organization. Some recommendations for the control of attrition rate are
as follows:
1. More Importance on Human Resource problems.
2. Motivation from the superior is very much needed.
3. Creating friendly environment in the organization also required.
4. Job description and Salary are the most sensitive areas which the organization should carefully take care.
Department should be made which would work on Employee retention strategy.
