Abstract

The achievement of sustainable competitive advantage has been a major goal of every industry nowadays. In the rapidly growing software industry, the increasing number of competitors, availability of numerous software development tools and process with varied management technique has made the industry more complex and challenging. To understand thsis demand of constantly changing environment of software market, the known attributes and factors of employee behavior such as team size, requirements, innovation, culture, experience and software development frameworks should be considered to make decision. The interrelation between these available resources helps to better understand the developmental process and attain better result. This paper examines and compares the sustainable key factors in the IT companies of Nepal to get the better understanding of the factors which can help the companies grow and maintain their position in the market. For this study, the factors defined by Clarke & O’Connor (2012) were carefully looked and closely compared with the reviews from the software developers. The result suggest that the employee attitudes were highly dependent on some factors defined by Clarke & O’Connor (2012) which was later compared with Sobhani, Wahab, & Neumann (2017) employee performance factors to provide a perspective of employee behavior and decision making. Finally, the study sorts the result based on the priority and provides new perspective gained during the research, which could aid in strategic decision making for sustainable growth in software industry.
