Research output: Contribution to conferencePresentation

Abstract

The ITM field has a revolutionary impact on the economy, society, and business. Furthermore, there is an overabundance of information technology jobs available. Yet, students are not enrolling into information technology programs offered by colleges and universities. Research has suggested that stress plays a factor as to why many information technology professionals leave the information technology field. However, no research study has been conducted on the secondary education level to understand if high school seniors consider job stress as a factor when choosing a career. This presentation will provide the literature framework for our proposed study.
