This study investigates turnover intentions within the context of Brazilian public organizations, focusing on Information and Communications Technology professionals. Moreover, the research highlights the factors influencing turnover intentions and underscores the critical role of remote work and compensation satisfaction, particularly salary, in shaping these intentions. The desire for the flexibility inherent in remote work and the emphasis on equitable and competitive compensation packages emerge as critical drivers for retaining technology professionals. In addition to these key factors, these findings underscore organizations’ need to adopt effective retention strategies, encompassing policies that endorse remote work alternatives and establish competitive compensation norms. By addressing these factors, Brazilian public institutions can cultivate a stable and committed technology professionals workforce. Consequently, this study enriches the understanding of strategic decision-making and human resource practices, offering pertinent insights for organizational enhancement.
