122. Charles
manages a department that includes about a dozen computer programmers. Over the
past year, he has noticed that turnover among his programmers has increased by
75%. This has proven puzzling to him, since the performance of the department
and all of its programmers has consistently been very high. During informal
discussions with some of the remaining programmers, Charles has determined that
the programmers who have been leaving have not complained about pay,
relationships with coworkers or supervisors, or working conditions. In fact,
they have said that they were generally happy with what they were doing. On the
other hand, they have been concerned with the company's failure to adopt the latest
technological advances in hardware and software that would allow them to
maintain their programming skills at the cutting edge. Most of the workers who
have left have gone to work for companies that are using the latest technology.
In this organization, the increased turnover appears to be the result of
problems in the area of:
|
a.
|
immoral management
|
|
b.
|
job security
|
|
c.
|
organizational commitment
|
|
d.
|
job satisfaction
