How personality type influences decision paths in the unfolding model of voluntary job turnover

摘要

Welcome to the 45^th Annual Computer Personnel Research Conference -- ACM SIGMIS CPR 2007. For forty-five years, the CPR conference has presented quality research on the themes of managing the information technology (IT) workforce. This year's theme is the increasingly global nature of this workforce. >The IT Workforce has rapidly evolved into a diverse, dynamic, and fluid international marketplace of knowledge workers and commoditized IT services. Organizational information technologies and services are now regularly provided not only by internal IT units, but also by globally-located providers of information technologies, systems, and services as well as a combination of local and global workforce participants. The changing composition of such a global workforce has implications for both the research and practice of information systems management. Forty-nine papers were submitted to the conference and 37 were accepted. The papers, panels, and tutorials in this year's conference cover topics such as managing teams of IT workers in different countries, the economics and politics of such arrangements, and traditional CPR topics such as skill sets needed for IT workers and the IT career path.
