AI-Driven Employee Perception Towards Job Attrition in The IT Sector with Special Reference to Chennai City

Abstract

This study investigates AI-driven employee perceptions towards job attrition in the IT sector with special reference to Chennai City, a major Indian technology hub where AI adoption in HR functions is rapidly accelerating. Using a quantitative research design, primary data were collected from 100 IT employees through a structured Google Forms questionnaire and analyzed using SPSS to examine the relationship between socio-economic characteristics, perceptions of AI-driven HR practices, and job attrition intentions. The findings show that, while most socio-economic variables do not significantly alter employees’ views on AI in HR, family annual income and gender are associated with perceptual differences, and AI-driven HR practices exhibit a strong positive correlation with job attrition intentions, suggesting that ethical concerns, increased AI-driven workload, and fears of skill obsolescence and unfair decisions are critical AI-related factors shaping employees’ inclination to leave their organizations.
