Call for Papers: AMCIS 2018


Minitrack 2: IS Career Development

Track: IS Leadership and the IT profession (SIGLEAD)


The IT profession is a critical driving force for today’s organizations. Despite this importance, IT professionals are constantly facing challenges in their efforts to realize IT value, to climb the corporate ladder, to have a diverse workforce, to balance work and family, among others. The objective of this mini-track is to help us, academics and practitioners, further explore these issues and aim at better understanding the relationship between the IT professional and the organization. Nevertheless articles on IS Career Development abound in the practitioner press, much less attention has been devoted to the topic from an academic perspective.

This mini-track welcomes research that address the issues above and emerging ones within the IS/IT workforce, talent management, career streams, professional developments, work/family balance of IS professionals, as well as ethical, societal, and legal issues related to managing IT professionals, among others.
