Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to explore work‐related attitudes of information technology (IT) enabled business process outsourcing (ITES‐BPO) employees. Design/methodology/approach There are 25 firms operating in Sri Lanka that fall into the category of ITES‐BPO; a random sample of 117 employees from these 25 firms responded to the survey. Findings The findings suggest that tenure has a significant effect on task autonomy and marital status has a significant effect on working hours. Originality/value A research exploring work‐related attitudes of ITES‐BPO employees towards their work and work environment, in a South Asian country that is considered as active and promising destination for such services, could provide practitioners with key information that could enable them to make informed managerial decisions.
