This study focuses on the IS professionals of Japan and Norway and investigates whether there are more similarities between them on professional factors than on factors influenced by their respective national cultures. A survey was conducted and there was support for the following hypothesis: IS professionals in Japan and Norway are different, both in terms of their general culture and in their views on life and work. They also differ in terms of IS job satisfaction and values. It was also found that there were stronger similarities between them on some professional factors than on those unrelated to the IS field.
