Software Developer earning his Doctorate needs help

T

TurboTim

I have been a Software Developer for 25 years mostly PC based (C/C++)
for the last 20. I have been earning my Doctorate for the past 4 years
and am now doing my Dissertation. The theme of my dissertation is the
relationships between job characteristics, job satisfaction and
turnover intention among Software Developers. I have developed a model
that shows the paths from job characteristics such as autonomy or task
significance to job satisfiers such as internal work motivation or
satisfaction with pay, and ending with the Developer's turnover
intention (quitting their job in the near future). Survey data will
drive the model and will hopefully serve as a basis for structuring
programs and policies to promote the retention of Software Developers.

The help I need is if you're a Software Developer I would truly
appreciate it if you would take a few minutes out of your busy
schedule and take my survey at http://www.dolphinmsds.com/progsurvey
The survey consists of 6 pages and should take about 5 to 10 minutes
to take.

Your e-mail address is optional but if you leave it I will send you a
copy of my dissertation in the next 90 days. I will also have a
drawing for 4 Amazon $50 gift certificates for survey participants.
The survey results will be very helpful for future developers and for
management to understand the nature of developers. Feel free to ask
your Developer friends and I sincerely thank you for the help.

If you have so much programming experience, how come you didn't get your
Ph.D in computer science?
