Track Description:
The Human Capital in IS is aimed at fostering a forum for IS scholars engaging in a range of human capital related research including IS leadership, professional services and career development/training. Specific objectives of the track are to allow members to share their research, engage in exchange of perspectives, and encourage future collaborations. The track is sponsored by the AIS Special Interest Group on IS Leadership (SIGLead) with this track forming an expansion of a theme on IS Leadership that has been hosted at AMCIS from 2003 through 2012.
Though articles on human capital abound in the practitioner press, much less attention has been devoted to the topic from an academic perspective. IS professionals – whether leaders at the CIO level, IS project and line staff or external professional service providers – are the human dimension of the discipline and therefore issues surrounding IS practice are of enduring concern to IS academics and practitioners alike.

This minitrack seeks groundbreaking research regarding emerging issues facing the computing-related workforce, computing professionals and their role in a global workforce. It encourages submissions at the industry level, workgroup or department level, and individual level. Studies developing or extending theory on issues such as the stigma associated with the computing-related profession, professional commitment of computing personnel or the importance of employing a diverse global workforce are just a few examples of the type of papers one might expect in this minitrack. Additionally research on attracting students to the computing-related professions, global computing-related talent management, the influence of human-computer factors to achieve smart sustainability and creative approaches to meet the global demand for computing-related professionals is also welcome. All methodologies and research paradigms that focus on computing-related personnel are appropriate for submission to this minitrack.
