Originality: Software programming is an intelligent work which is built entirely on human capital, and there are few studies on the factors affecting it. Method: The data was collected using random sampling from programmers by way of a structured questionnaire. The analysis was done using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) AMOS 20. The total sample size was 199. Results: The overall model fit looks adequate with the CMIN/DF is 1.821 while all other parameters such as GFI, AGFI, CFI & RMSEA are within the recommended value. Conclusion: The finding of the study was that two factors-Ergonomic Workstation and Domain Knowledge have a significant impact on software project planning and execution.
