The rapid growth of digital technologies has transformed the nature of work in the Information Technology (IT) sector. Remote work, hybrid arrangements, virtual communication, cloud-based systems and digital collaboration tools have created new opportunities for flexibility and productivity, while also introducing challenges related to worklife balance, social connection, job pressure and employee retention. Job embeddedness refers to the extent to which employees feel connected to their jobs and organizations through links, fit and the perceived sacrifice associated with leaving. The present study aims to examine job embeddedness among IT employees in the digital workplace and to understand how work environment, organizational commitment, work-life balance, digital workplace practices and career development opportunities may influence employees’ intention to remain with their organizations. The proposed study adopts a descriptive research design and uses primary data collected through a structured questionnaire, supported by secondary information from books, scholarly journals and credible reports. Percentage analysis and suitable statistical tests may be used after data collection. The study is expected to help organizations identify practices that strengthen employee connection, improve the digital work experience and support retention. Actual findings and conclusions should be finalized only after the collected responses have been analysed.
