Occupational Culture and Socialization in IS
Abstract
Previous research about the people who work with information and communication technologies (ICT) have studied this group of workers from several perspectives, demonstrating that it is important to study the information systems (IS) occupational community as such. This article presents a cultural approach to the study of the people who work in information systems. To do this, I discuss first the concept of ‘occupational culture,’ how it is different from organizational culture, and what the characteristics of an occupational culture are in general. Then, a detailed overview of the characteristics of the occupational culture of the IS occupations and a summary of recent empirical studies that were conducted are included. Finally, the implications of this cultural approach in practice and future trends are discussed.
