25th Americas Conference on Information Systems (AMCIS) August
15-17, 2019 Cancun, Mexico.
Mini Track 2: IS Career Development [Part of SIGLEAD ]
https://amcis2019.aisconferences.org/submissions/track-descriptions/#toggle-id-12
Deadline for Submissions: 1 March 2019
The IS Career Development mini-track in the IS Leadership and the
IT Profession track is aimed at fostering a forum for IS scholars
engaged in IS Career Development research to share their research,
engage in exchange of perspectives, and encourage future
collaborations. IS Career Development is broadly defined to
include research on IS professionals at various levels of the
organization (e.g., CIOs, IT managers, IT supervisors,
Programmers, IT security) including their roles and careers. This
proposed mini-track would be sponsored by the AIS Special Interest
Group on IS Leadership (SIG LEAD).
Though articles on IS Career Development abound in the
practitioner press and associations, much less attention has been
devoted to the topic from an academic perspective. 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, 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. 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.
Possible Topics:
* Information systems roles and careers
* Career streams and professional development of technical
managers/leaders and staff
* Preparation and development of non-technical executives for
senior IS and technology positions in large enterprises and for IS
as a secondary role in SMEs
* Diversity within the IT profession
* IS training and global talent management
* IS professional identity (e.g., the business and tech gap)
