Abstract
In the 21st century retaining information technology (IT) professionals is critical to a
companys productivity and overall success. Senior IT leaders need effective strategies to
retain skilled IT professionals. Guided by the general systems theory and the
transformational leadership theory the purpose of this qualitative exploratory case study
was to explore the retention strategies used by 2 senior IT leaders in Atlanta Georgia to
retain IT professionals. Semistructured interviews were employed to elicit detailed
narratives from these IT leaders on their experiences in retaining IT professionals. A
review of company documents as well as member-checking of initial interview
transcripts helped to bolster the trustworthiness of final interpretations. Those final
interpretations included 4 main themes: (a) job-related benefits and compensation; (b)
people-related approaches such as promotion rewards and recognition; (c) management
organizational and leadership essentials that include recruiting hiring and retaining
employees; and (d) barriers critical factors and ineffective strategies affecting the
retention of IT professionals. By implementing supportive management practice and
encouraging employees to embrace the organization culture company leaders can
succeed in retaining key IT staff. These findings may influence social change by
uncovering strategies to retain IT professionals within the company and help IT
professionals understand leaders retention strategies.
