Abstract

This study will examine the influence of age on contentment experience, and job satisfaction among information technology (IT) professionals. Job embeddedness is defined as the emotional connection between the individual and their workplace, and it is hypothesized that age may play a significant role in the development of this bond. Specifically, this study will examine how older IT professionals may experience a stronger sense of job embeddedness than their younger counterparts, and how this may lead to increased levels of job satisfaction and contentment. Furthermore, this study will explore the influence of job embeddedness on job satisfaction and contentment, with an aim of understanding how age may play a role in the relationship between these two variables. Data for this study will be collected through a series of interviews and surveys of IT professionals. Results from this study will provide valuable insight into the influence of age on job embeddedness, job satisfaction, and contentment in the IT industry.
