Abstract

A quantitative study involving Mainland China (the PRC), Taiwan, India, the UAE, and the US, five areas with 852 responses of IT/IS personnel data towards building a more suitable Circumplex Career Anchor Model for IT/IS personnel, and to test a research model of a reorganized (quadrant) anchors. The bureaucratic, protean, careerist, and the social four quadrant anchors, have a significantly positive effect on career satisfaction of the IT/IS personnel. The bureaucratic, protean, and social three quadrant anchors have a significantly positive effect on job satisfaction of the IT/IS personnel, but not on the careerist quadrant anchor. Thus, the result of this study not only provided a reorganized (quadrant) anchors framework for suitable IT/IS personnel, but also combined job satisfaction, career satisfaction, and turnover intention to extend the Circumplex career anchor model to be a more complete research model.
