Abstract

In developing countries such as Iran, political, economic and social conditions play an important role in the workforce movement and job turnover in many organizations. Job turnover by talented workforces have significant consequences on organizational performance; thus this paper aims to explore the reasons of turnover and its underlying process in developing countries like Iran. This study focuses on job turnover in Iranian ICT industry. In-depth interviews were conducted with 13 individuals who had left their jobs. In order to analyze the qualitative data obtained from the interviews, grounded theory methodology was employed. The conceptual model of the present study illustrates the main factors affecting talent turnover in organizations in Iran. Based on grounded theory model, in this article, these factors contains casual factors (e.g. economic recession), organizational context (e.g. organization’s features), change in the sense of working life (e.g. Dissatisfaction), individual characteristics (e.g. personality), intervening factors and variables (e.g. administrative corruptions in undeveloped countries).
