2.0 INTRODUCTION
This chapter reviews and examines literature that related to this study. First part of the chapter begins with a literature review on the turnover intention of employee in information technology industry. The second part is about the organizational commitment, job satisfaction and job stress affect the turnover intention of employee. The chapter concludes by presenting a theoretical framework for the relationship of organizational commitment, job satisfaction and job stress affect the turnover intention of employee in information technology industry.
2.1 REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
The purpose for this quantitative, correlational design study was to examine the relationship of organizational commitments, job satisfaction and job

Normative commitment is an employee’s feeling of compulsion to carry on working for an organization. Employees with normative commitment sense that it is their moral responsibility to continue to work for an organization. The third component, continuance commitment, refers to the longing to continue membership in an organization for fright of forfeiting valued rewards (Meyer et al …show more content…
Understanding the concept of job stress is necessary in examining how job stress relates to other variables. Topics covered in this section include definition of job stress, drivers of job stress and effect of job stress.
Job stress has been defined as a situation in which a worker’s characteristics interact with job factors to bring about changes in his or her psychological or physiological state which negatively affect functioning (Beehr and Newman, 2001)
A study by Schaufeli, and Peeters, (2000) relate of correctional officers reported that the antecedents of job stress were role problems, work overload, demanding social contacts and poor social status whilst the consequences included turnover and absenteeism, psychosomatic diseases, job dissatisfaction and burnout.
There have many IT professionals around the world work in stressful environments due to the rapidly changing environment for information technology. Under stressful working conditions, many IT personnel reveal high job stress and often resign their jobs.
Therefore, this study builds on the existing research base on stress and its impact on individuals by offering further evidence that the sources of stress lie within the work role of IT
Recent research indicates employee turnover is linked to poor training and poor performance. If an employee feels he/she not doing a good job, there no satisfaction and a lack of motivation. (Ton, 2012, pg.
However, though most of the police personnel are exposed to the same external occupational and organizational stressors, all of them do not develop psychological morbidity. This is because a person's vulnerability to stress is also based on an individual's appraisal and response to difficult situations. Personality and coping both play an interactive and independent role in influencing adjustment to stress. Cabarkapa, in a study on military aviation crew, found neuroticism as a personality trait in correlation to job-related stress and concluded that stress evaluation and examination of certain personality characteristics can be used for development of basic anti-stress programs and measures. (Cabarakap, 2009)
For work stress three components were taken into account. They were role conflict, role over-load and role ambiguity. Also relation with the conflict and turnover intentions was studied. Structural equation modelling was done in order to find out whether data fit within the model well. From the analysis it was clear that there was a relation between the variables like role conflict and role overload with work family conflict.
Thirdly, I believe that flexibility is very important today with the employees, because if the working hours are not flexible, they tend to either do not prefer working here or when they get the opportunity they move out. So if wee summarize, in my experience I believe that wages, growth and flexibility are the main reasons that cause turnover in the
‘Stress is like a storm- anything from a quick cloudburst to a hurricane’. (Wisniewski, 2013) Causes of stress would be identified as overload of work, overcrowding at work, inadequate physical space, high level of noise in the work unit, double shifts, no breaks, lack of support from other workers, government restricting the amount of staff on duty at one time, patients and complaints from patients and family members, staff members, malfunctioning of equipment will lead to not getting the job done in time, financial situation, outside stress been taken into work. Bullying within work will also cause
The aim of this paper is to analyse and discuss the police man case study based on Job Demand-Control model and stress management techniques. The Job Demand-Control model (JDC) also known as the strain model is believed to be one of the most influential models of work related stress (Leka & Houdmont, 2010). According to the JDC there are three central components of work environment that are important for understanding the job stress process: the first one is the job demands that are placed on the worker, the second is the amount of control the worker has in their attempt to meet demands and the third one being social support (Leka & Houdmont, 2010). JDC suggests that the combination of high job demands with low job control is associated emotional and physiological strain (Karasek, 1979). JDC also suggests that jobs with both high demand and high control lead to healthier employees even though there is a degree of strain (Karasek, 1979).
The workplace had become a high stress environment in many organizations cutting across industries. Employees were experiencing high level of stress due to various factors
Specific Purpose: To inform the audience about how stress develops and its effects on the workplace. Tentative Thesis: Though the definition of stress is already well-known among our society, we remain ignorant towards how stress develops everywhere and influences the workplace. Introduction I.

a higher position, more responsibility or a course, but none of them answered that it could make them stay there. However, some characteristics of the continuance commitment fitted to the navvy e.g. he values the job-security very high, and therefore he stays in the company. It is pretty normal that the three archetypes do not make a perfect fit to an employee. Consequently, it was remarkable that three of the employees suited the affective commitment as well as they did. This cannot be explained by one thing because commitment is based on feelings, and therefore the reasons for the employees’ types of commitment are more individual rather than a general affect, which will be discussed in the
Stress refers to a dynamic interaction between the individual and the environment. In this interaction, demands, limitations and opportunities related to work may be perceived as threatening to surpass the individual's resources and skills. Stress is any physical or psychological stimulus that disturbs the adaptive state and provoked a coping response The increasing interest in stress research is probably because we live in a world that includes many stressful circumstances and stress has been a global phenomenon. It has become an integral part of life and is said to be the price we all pay for the struggle to stay alive.
Stress involves interaction of the person and environment. To quote a definition: “Stress is an adaptive response to an external situation that results in physical, psychological and / or behavioural deviations for organizational participants” (Luthans, 1998). Stress has generally been viewed as a set of neurological and physiological reactions that serves an adaptive function (Franken, 1994). Traditionally, stress research has been oriented toward studies involving the body's reaction to stress and the cognitive processes that influence the perception of stress. However, social perspectives of the stress response have noted that different people experiencing similar life conditions are not necessarily affected in the same manner (Pearlin, 1982).
According to Stamp and Thoren (2016) turnover can be very disruptive and costly for any business or industry. Therefore, it is imperative that organizations find sufficient ways in which to avoid turnover. Typically, employees can leave an organization whether voluntary or involuntary, yet when employees do leave an organization it can trigger many disruptions in the overall operations, work
Sleeping disarray, upset, use of alcohol, and social removal also are examined (Osipow& Davis, 1998). Researchers have additionally checked out the OSI-R a lot of Australian employees during a style of professions, starting from general white collar jobs, high positions in military, and located that stress-coping predict variance in strain. the simplest measures to predict bury personal strain were found to be role-overload, role-boundary, and answerability (Osipow& Davis, 1998). The OSI-R symbolize a comprehensive model of occupational stress-strain-coping, and relies upon the analysis in stress management that established association among these 3 factors
Work stress reflects poor compatibility between the individual and the situations that one may face in the vicinity of the work. The stress occurs in situations where the employee perceives that his capacity to face work requirements represents a significant burden on him (Anderson R. 2003). The physical changes (rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure) and psychological changes (stress and anxiety) of an individual is the process of creating or willing to adapt compressor environmental variables (Bummer K. & B.H. Newberry,
Moreover, both job satisfaction and employee engagement are playing a significant role through accomplishing the organizational goals and objectives effectively and efficiency. Job satisfaction is important in the organizational settings, because according to Robbins and judge in 2013, first of all, job satisfaction affects productivity because several studies have stated that, the more employees are satisfied and happy, they more likely to have more products. Secondly, job satisfaction influences absenteeism, there is a negative relationship among job satisfaction absenteeism because satisfied employees are less likely to miss work. In the third place, job satisfaction again plays an essential role through the decisions of staying or leaving of the workers within the organization which is called turnover .in the fourth stage, job satisfaction is the main consideration of an employee 's organizational citizenship behavior (OCB), also the employees who are more satisfied are more likely to involve in OCBs, and talk more positively about the firm.
