When job performance is multi-dimensional and difficult to measure objectively, employees are evaluated by subjective ratings of various traits, skills, and/or behaviors. Because IT professionals often interact with different functional groups within an organization, multiple stakeholders may evaluate their performance. This study examines the impact of congruity among different organizational stakeholders' prototypes of successful IT performers on job performance. The data was collected from a large international consulting firm. The results of this study support the hypotheses that congruence of stakeholder perceptions affects IT personnel performance. They also reinforce the frequently observed findings that performance positively affects job satisfaction while higher levels of job satisfaction leads to lower intention to turnover.","PeriodicalId":219078,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '07","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126981289","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Do individuals need to have one set of IT/IS skills for Fortune 500 companies and another set of skills for small-sized firms? Understanding the set of skills required for IT/IS jobs is of importance to professionals as it governs their employability as well as their decisions to seek professional certifications. Meanwhile, the trend of job outsourcing means that certain types of jobs are kept in-house in firms while other types are contracted out. It thus becomes paramount for professionals to know the skill set that is required to preserve their employability in the job market. This ongoing study evaluates the skills required for IT/IS jobs by analyzing a broad set of online job descriptions. An initial set of data has been gathered through an automated retrieval of jobs descriptions from online sites. This data set will be analyzed using Latent Semantic Clustering which will result in a quantitative classification system of IT/IS jobs. The comparison of job skill requirements between small and large-sized firms is another expected result of this study. The contribution of this study is expected to be the determination of patterns of skills required for IT/IS jobs, a non-judgmental and quantitatively based definition of IT/IS jobs, and the investigation of differences in hiring patterns between firms of varying sizes.","PeriodicalId":219078,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '07","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115814004","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sometimes the media selection may not utilize the best mode of communication available. Individuals often select communication media inconsistent with the full technical capabilities of those media and non-technical modes of communication like face to face communication. For example, they use instant messaging when face-to-face, the richest form of communication, is available. They also use text messaging when voice communication, a more technically advanced mode of communication, is possible. The study described in this proposal will apply media richness theory to explain some of the choices made by such individuals. The proposed research will add variables to better explain media selection than has been previously done. The major contribution of the research will be the development and testing of a model that explains organizational media selection.","PeriodicalId":219078,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '07","volume":"206 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130248691","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The purpose of the study is to understand several key mid-level roles in IT client organizations, which are gaining importance for organizations as they employ alternative sourcing arrangements. Mid-level positions, such as project manager, senior system analyst, relationship manager and system architect, continue to be in demand in the organizations we study. Organizations use these roles to design solutions and coordinate their delivery. They also use these roles as a way to allow up-and-coming talent to demonstrate their leadership and problem-solving capabilities. Employees view these roles as an important opportunity to extend their knowledge and skills and to use their experience as a stepping stone toward a management career. This study is intent on better understanding the characteristics, traits and motivations of those who successfully fill these positions and identifying best practices for organizations to identify, develop and retain personnel to fill these roles. Justification for our topic and approach, along with preliminary results, are presented for this work-in-progress.","PeriodicalId":219078,"journal":{"name":"SIGMIS CPR '07","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"120950979","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
