The objective of this thesis is to understand the impact of satisfaction with innovative benefits on the intention to stay of the information and communications technology industry (ICT) workers. In order to investigate this question, a general research hypothesis was presented based on a literature review and on Blau’s social exchange theory (1964) and Maslow’s theory of needs (1943). The general research hypothesis states that satisfaction with innovative benefits increases intention to stay through time. The data used in this thesis were collected as part of a larger research on the relationships between compensation, training and skills development and attracting and retaining key employees. The longitudinal data come from an office located in Montreal of a major international company from the ICT sector. The study population consists of workers newly hired between April 1st, 2009 and September 30th, 2010. The results confirm the research hypothesis showing that satisfaction with innovative benefits increase intention to stay through time. Among the various innovative benefits studied, the results indicate that it is the satisfaction with the gym at work that best predicts intention to stay of workers. Other innovative benefits significantly related to intention to stay are the games library, the lounge, the medical clinic and the library in the workplace. Also, longitudinal analyses reveal that it is mainly the differences between the individual characteristics of the employees who best explain intention to stay than the differences across time of the same worker. This thesis concludes by discussing the best way for industrial relations managers to use the results in order to retain their employees. Then, the limits of the study and some directions for further research are also presented.

Étude de cas comparative portant sur l'évolution de la chaîne de valeur aéronautique du grand Montréal. L'objet d'étude est le développement des capacités organisationnelles des firmes sous-traitantes grâce à des mises à niveau de leurs systèmes de production. Ces mises à niveau sont considérées s'inscrire dans un cadre stratégique en lien avec le positionnement de marché visé et générer des opportunités de formation et apprentissage. Un processus d'apprentissage commun aux firmes est relevé et présente des activités de conversion de savoir centrales au développement des compétences. Les analyses indiquent que des mises à niveau de fonction sont à favoriser pour élargir les capacités organisationnelles et l'offre de services correspondante de ces firmes jusqu’à l’atteinte du rang d’intégrateur. Le paradigme des chaînes de valeur et l’approche basée sur les ressources et l’apprentissage issu de la gestion stratégique sont agencés en continuum pour l’analyse des phénomènes.
