The flight of women from the information technology profession: nuances and global perspectives
基于36个国家女性的调查,研究影响女性离开信息技术职业意愿的因素,为减少IT领域性别差距提供干预设计依据。
Research illuminating women’s experience working in information technology (IT) in different parts of the world is vital if we are to address the gender gap in IT. Based on a survey of women from 36 countries, we examine the factors that influence women’s intention to leave the IT profession by adopting the job demands–resources model and the individual differences theory of gender and IT to compare their experiences. We present a model that identifies how these factors affect women’s experience in the profession based on environmental, identity, and individual differences. Our findings can inform the design of targeted interventions that address the underrepresentation of women in IT.
