Respect Human Value to Control Software Development Failure

Abstract

People learn and define their own values to interact in different situations. It is important to know the human values (HV) for dealing humans in better ways. HV can also be helpful for software development managers to make right decisions for managing their teams well. Unfortunately, to a great extent, the very factor is ignored in software engineering (SE). This study aims to provide a basic motivation of the topic to SE researchers to carry out some empirical evidences to control software development failures through respecting software developers’ HV. In order to operationalize the study, few disciplines, in which the HV are empirically discussed, are considered to replicate the impacts on software development. The factor HVs is well connected with satisfaction and improvement outcomes in sociology, education and management studies. Likewise, this study also literates the importance of HVs for successful software project development. This study concludes that HV can form strong correlations with software development roles and can be used to minimize the software failure.
