Abstract: Life satisfaction plays a crucial role in an IT employee's life, without which employees get disengaged, eventually leading to an increased attrition rate in the IT sector. The increasing attrition rate is one of the IT sector's major and alarming issues. This article highlights the issues the IT sector faces and, on the other hand, enhances life satisfaction among IT employees. Online questionnaires were circulated among IT employees in the southern region of India, and data was gathered from 432 employees. The employee's job satisfaction is important in achieving life satisfaction, which can be increased by properly implementing suitable coping strategies. Researchers and practitioners have contributed sufficiently to achieving employee life satisfaction in various sectors. Still, it was found that there is a shortage of research regarding attaining life satisfaction among IT employees in the Indian context. This study mainly focuses on attaining life satisfaction and identifying the predominant factors of job satisfaction that influence the life satisfaction of IT employees in the Indian context. Python Jupyter Notebook (Anaconda 3) and SmartPLS 3 analyse the data.

Keywords: employee engagement; job satisfaction; family satisfaction; life satisfaction; IT employees; Indian context; influencing factors.
