Predicting the Intention of Undergraduate IS Students to Earn IT Certification
نویسندگان
چکیده
IT/IS hiring managers have indicated that they may use certification to differentiate between job candidates with similar levels of education and experience. Some studies and salary surveys have indicated that certified employees make more money and bonuses than noncertified workers. Despite the obvious benefits, some IS students choose not to pursue certification. This study will use the Theory of Planned Behavior to identify the factors that influence students' intentions to earn an IS-related certification. The different effects of cognitive beliefs and affect (feelings) will be explored. Results will be compared to those of a similar study of hiring managers to identify differences.
