Attrition becoming an area of growing concern in the Information Technology and Information Technology Enabled Services sector, the purpose of this paper is to investigate Job Attitudes and its relationship to IT and ITES employees' attrition in India. 610 samples were chosen by convenience sampling method through questionnaire. Data was analyzed using multiple regression and factor analysis. Multiple regressions (Multiple R value: 0.724, R Square value: 0.525 and Adjusted R Square: 0.520) have proved the main hypothesis that there is relationship between job attitudes and attrition. The result is strengthened by confirmatory factor analysis. The fit of general model is high (Goodness of Fit Index (GFI)) =0.993, Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index (AGFI) =0.976 and Root Mean Square Residual (RMR) =0.060.Non-Significant χ2 and Goodness of fit Indices is the 0.993 accompanied by Confirmatory/comparative Fit Index=.998 and Root Mean Square Error of Approximation (RMSEA) is 0.027. The value of GFI, AGFI, CFI close to 1 indicate, it is a very good fit model to predict attrition by job attitudes and an RMSEA of 0.01 indicates the close fit of model and that value up to 0.027 represents the reasonable errors of approximation for a model.Keywords
