Abstract

Purpose

Information technology (IT) plays a major part in the economy growth of any country. Attrition has been an important issue that influences the performance of the company. The increasing levels of attrition are the most immediate concern that IT companies are facing. The present study will help in knowing the influence of self-efficacy (SE) and organizational efficacy (OE) on the turnover of an organization.

Design/methodology/approach

This study employed an online survey method for data collection using a sample size of 250. Reliability and validity of the measurement scales were ensured, and hypotheses developed were tested through PLS-SEM using SMART PLS.

Findings

A large number of employees are the youth of age group 20–40 years. Work satisfaction within the organization is the main cause of attrition. Lack of contentment along with the biasness in the organizations hampers the dissatisfaction with the nature of work between employees. Thus, effective, timely communication of organizational policies and goals helps to pound satisfaction with work within the organization, which could result in lower employee attrition.

Research limitations/implications

The research has been conducted as not much research works have been found that show the relationship between SE and OE on employee attrition in the IT sector. The present study will help in further theory development and finding new aspects.

Originality/value

The research is the first of its kind, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, that shows the relationship of SE and OE to employee attrition.

Abstract

Purpose

The COVID-19 outbreak has significant psychological effects because of reduced support system and social quarantine, making women the worst-hit population of shadow pandemic, i.e. domestic violence. While food shortages, unemployment and increased domestic-work burdens are the immediate effects of the lockdown, women at home have to bear its far-reaching impacts in the long term in the form of domestic abuse, making the study of the psychological impact of domestic violence against women imperative. This paper aims to identify the factors and causes responsible for domestic violence and its psychological impacts on women in different aspects. This paper further focuses on the reasons behind an escalation in psychological violence against women.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper is based on extrapolating data from various journal articles, Indian Government reports, newspaper articles and other printed materials that are recent, relevant and discuss domestic violence and mental stress during the COVID-19 pandemic. Researchers use Indian National Commission for Women’s (NCW) data on complaints received regarding violence against women and domestic abuse in the year 2020 and 15 journal articles that discuss domestic violence against women during the COVID-19 period in different countries to discuss social inequalities and power relations impact on women’ mental health.

Findings

The findings suggest that economic instability during the pandemic and social and cultural norms of India ignited psychological abuse against women during the pandemic. The number of monthly complaints of dowry death, dowry harassment and protection of women against domestic violence reflect on increased registered complaints in the postlockdown period in the year 2020. The number of monthly complaints received by the NCW from January 2020 to December 2020 in India represents that WhatsApp chat is a powerful tool for reporting domestic violence.

Originality/value

The pandemic lockdown has an adverse psychological impact on women, making them suffer from posttraumatic symptoms, substance abuse, panic attacks, depressions, hallucinations, eating disorders, self-harm, etc. This paper strives to reflect upon mitigation strategies to curb domestic violence in India.
