Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating effect of job satisfaction on the relationship between time demands of work and turnover intention of software developers in offshore outsourced software development firms (OOSDF) in Sri Lanka. Design/methodology/approach Survey research methodology was used and 232 software developers attached to OOSDF responded. Findings It was found that job satisfaction partially mediates the relationship between time demands of work and turnover intention. Research limitations/implications The results of the questionnaire survey provided access to breadth of experience. If qualitative data were also obtained those could have provided depth by adding insight and substance to the questionnaire survey. Practical implications The findings imply that a greater understanding of employee turnover intentions might be gained by investigating the time demands of work. Originality/value It is expected that the paper's findings will provide useful information for both practitioners and academics to better understand the nature of strategies to be adopted in Asian OOSDF.
