Abstract

The paper builds a hierarchical model to analyze the factors influencing the brain drain of information technology (IT) employee based on the research result of domestic and foreign scholars. By using the questionnaire and analytic hierarchy process (AHP), the paper further investigates the importance of factors influencing the brain drain of IT employee. The results show that factor about company itself is the most important and the factor about employee is the least important in all factors. And factors such as industry environment, career development prospects, corporate culture, nature of work, total rewards are the most important factors influencing the brain drain of IT employee. The family status, age, educational background, seniority, lifestyle and working conditions are the least ones.
