This study explores these roles for IS consultants who are engaged as independent contractors by small businesses. Presented here is a field study of twenty-five cases to test these three roles. In general, the results of the study suggest that IS consultants' view themselves as change agents and can identify a role that they prefer to follow. Key relationships emerged between the change agent role selected by an IS consultant for an engagement and the quality of the IS implementation. A main finding indicates that the advocator role model is most effective when resistance to change is encountered. The study concludes with suggestions to help IS consultants improve their effectiveness as change agents, such as acquiring the broader type of skills to adopt an advocator role and attaining the flexibility to follow different change agent roles.","PeriodicalId":426630,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcpr Computer Personnel","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2002-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121817422","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}

Computer systems have permeated virtually every facet of organizations, creating a demand for individuals with IT skills at every level. The situation is complicated by the fact that finding personnel with the appropriate skills mix is even more problematic. As we move into the new millennium, IT roles are shifting at a rapidly increasing pace. Technical skills alone are not sufficient for success in the IT profession --- soft skills like communication, problem solving, and teamwork are increasingly important. Recognizing that no curriculum can provide all training needed by every employee in every position, the issue then becomes to identify which specific sets of knowledge, skills, and abilities (KSAs) are most important to IT organizations. This paper presents the findings of an initial case study undertaken to identify the necessary KSAs that can be used in the development of academic and industry training programs. The focus of this paper is on the findings for soft skill KSAs.","PeriodicalId":426630,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcpr Computer Personnel","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130094174","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}

These managers were selected because of both the explicit and implicit roles they play in technology decisions, including those related to telecommuting. Two variables thought to be associated with IS managers beliefs about telecommuting are isolated for measurement and testing. The two variables are firm size and whether the organization currently has a telecommuting program in place. Results indicate that neither firm size nor the existence of a telecommuting program affect beliefs of IS managers concerning the advantages and disadvantages of telecommuting. These results lend credence to the hypothesis that a consensus is forming regarding the benefits and drawbacks associated with this innovative and alternate work arrangement.","PeriodicalId":426630,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcpr Computer Personnel","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115101654","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}

This study introduced a related construct called professional plateau. It is defined as the point where employees find their job unchallenging and it provides few opportunities for professional development and future employability. The study proposed that career plateau and professional plateau are related to three work outcomes: namely, career satisfaction, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions. It also proposed that professional plateau accounts for a significant variance in the three outcomes beyond those accounted for by the objective and perceptual measures of career plateau. The hypotheses were tested using data collected from a questionnaire survey. The results support the hypotheses. One practical implication of these results is that employers need to understand that career plateau and professional plateau are two types of plateau that have impact on the attitudes and intentions of information technology professionals.","PeriodicalId":426630,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcpr Computer Personnel","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123019828","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 role of the CEO in strategic information systems planning and the CIO business planning may become more important under environmental uncertainty, especially for firms highly dependent upon information technology. In this study, CIOs were surveyed determine how environmental uncertainty information intensity impacted the role strategic IS planning practices. Both environmental uncertainty and information intensity were more strongly related to SISP practices in the electric utility industry when compared to other industries surveyed. Undergoing deregulation, electric utility companies are now being exposed to a level of environmental hostility not experienced in the past. Results indicate that a sudden change in environmental uncertainty may be a more important motivation to the use of SISP practices than the level of uncertainty itself.

One factor, which is often emphasized, is education and training. However, very little research has been focused on the role of formal university education and the dissemination of systems development methodologies. This is the background for this study. It investigates the extent to which a methodology, as well as its encompassing component methods and techniques, taught at the Copenhagen Business School, has been adopted by students and the organizations they are working for. The main result is that very few examples of direct adoption of the methodology taught have been found, but that the training has in general positive influence on the students' utilization of methodologies. The reasons for adoption and non-adoption are discussed based on a grounded theory analysis.","PeriodicalId":426630,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcpr Computer Personnel","volume":"82 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122090535","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}

African-, Hispanic- and Native-Americans represent only 4.9% of the more than 24,000 business school professors and only 2.8% of the more than 2,000 Information Systems professors. Many universities attribute this nominal minority representation to the difficulty in finding qualified, tenurable faculty members from these ethnic groups.We replicate the research of Hammond (1995) using the survey and commenter features of a group support system, GroupSystems. In particular, we explore cultural issues that may contribute to the small number of African- and Hispanic-Americans who pursue doctoral degrees in information systems/technology (IS/IT). Our results confirmed some of the cultural differences found in earlier research-such as social isolation and lack of minority faculty mentors. Our results also identified family responsibilities and the need to give back to ethnic communities as important cultural issues affecting minorities' IS/IT doctoral students.","PeriodicalId":426630,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcpr Computer Personnel","volume":"191 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117021147","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}

Understanding how to meet the needs of the technically oriented IS employee is important to IS career planning and development. Much has been written in both academic and popular literature about what composes a successful technical career path. Equity theory has been used in much of the existing research on technical career paths. This literature suggests that a successful technical career path should provide equitable rewards to those of a managerial career path. The present research establishes scales for four \"key success factors\" - equitable compensation, career path status, decision making influence, and career planning tool availability --- and examines the relationship of perceived equity of these factors to job satisfaction. Job satisfaction is relevant to an organization because it has been shown to be related to motivation to stay in an organization and organizational commitment. IS personnel on a technical career path were surveyed with regard to their equity perceptions and job satisfaction. Scales for the perception of equity for all four success factors were established. Data analysis showed that only the perception of equity of career planning tool availability is related to job satisfaction for these employees. Implications for management and areas for further research are discussed.","PeriodicalId":426630,"journal":{"name":"ACM Sigcpr Computer Personnel","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1999-04-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116012983","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}
