Doctoral Dissertation
Jones, S. A. (2017). Exploring the relationship between team experiences, job satisfaction, and turnover intention among information technology professionals (Doctoral dissertation). Argosy University, Atlanta.

Voluntary turnover in the information technology industry is a growing problem that organizations cannot ignore because of its impact on employee relationships, organizational performance, employee morale, and financial burden (Abii, Ogula, & Rose, 2013; Rouse, 2001). Longenecker and Scazzero (2003) and Kosseff (1999) estimate the expense of replacing a skilled information technology professional between 1.5 to 2.5 times their annual salaries. The purpose of this quantitative study was to investigate the impact and difference between team experiences and the perceived employee job satisfaction and employee retention among information technology professionals.
