Employee turnover is one of the topical issues worldwide. The impact of factors affecting employee turnover varies occasionally and new factors are considered. Many countries have examined various factors that affect employee turnover. The main objective of this research is to consider psychographics and socio-demographic factors in one study and analyse the impact on employee turnover. A Probit regression model through the stepwise technique was used to analyse the collected data. Using ventures in Sri Lanka as a case study, this study demonstrates that employee turnover occurs in different stages and independent factors impact differently in each stage. The study population was professionals who have been a key part of Sri Lankan startups, which involved 230 respondents. Data analysis was performed through a forward stepwise technique through STATA. The results verified that job satisfaction and co-worker support negatively impact employee turnover, whereas leader member exchange positively impacts employee turnover. This study also proved a significant positive relationship between male employees in their thirties and high employee turnover. This study’s findings help to identify the areas management should focus on to minimise employee turnover to retain experienced and skilled employees.

“…This study used the quantitative research method to investigate the conceptual framework empirically. A survey questionnaire was developed to gather the data as it is the most convenient and frequently used technique [40]. The targeted population of the survey was practitioners from Pakistan's SME-GSD-based IT organizations.…”

“…Therefore, a 6-point Likert scale ranging from 0 to 5 (0= "No contribution at all", 1= "slightly contributive", 2 = "Moderately contributive", 3= "Noticeably contributive", 4 = "Very contributive", 5 = "Extremely contributive") was adopted from [41], and was used throughout the questionnaire to record the responses of the respondents against the indicators. In [40], the authors highlight that pre-testing the questionnaire is necessary to evaluate its reliability. Pre-testing of the questionnaire consists of four steps.…”

Global Software Development (GSD) offers several benefits to software development organizations, including reduced development costs, the availability of low-wage and highly skilled employees, and an improved marketplace. Meanwhile, it faces severe communication, coordination, and control issues. The most important of these is the communication issue which is further categorized into socio-cultural, temporal, and geographical issues. Among these issues, researchers believe the socio-cultural issue is the most critical factor and, if not mitigated properly, may lead to software project failure. Although, in the past, many studies have identified socio-cultural distance-related issues, and a few studies proposed mitigation strategies. However, studies have yet to be carried out to prioritize and empirically evaluate all mitigation strategies. Thus the main objectives of this study are: a) to identify socio-cultural distance issues and mitigation strategies through a Systematic Literature Review (SLR), b) to empirically evaluate the impact of identified mitigation strategies on identified socio-cultural distance issues through a survey, and c) to prioritize effective mitigation strategies through a recommended Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). A total of six socio-cultural issues and twenty-eight mitigation strategies are identified from the SLR and survey. Out of which, seven mitigation strategies are most effective. This study's findings will help software organizations to overcome socio-cultural distance issues by using the highest priority mitigation strategies to reduce losses.
