Abstract:
Software developers often leave their jobs due to not feeling motivated for work or due to
the emergence of new career opportunities. Companies need to keep their employees to avoid
hiring, training, and time-consuming costs. In this paper, we complement a quantitative
work, analyzing qualitatively over a sample of 10 software developers working in Brazil who
have voluntarily left their jobs, as the work characteristics and the exhaustion are related
to their turnover. For this purpose, we use Grounded Theory by C. Uzarewicz and W. L.
Neuman. The reports reveal that the need for professional development and the excessive
workload are indicatives to voluntary turnover. With this paper, companies can better un-
derstand turnover causes, lower their rates, and possibly increase employee retention.
