Summary: A Mandatory Book for IT/HR Practitioners and IT/IS Academics
Review: This excellent book serves two great purposes. First, it is one of the most comprehensive discussions on human resource management in the information technology (IT) field. Second, it is the most appropriate commemoration dedicated to one of the most talented scholars in the IT management area, Dr. Magid Igbaria, who passed away at the age of 44 of cancer after a long and brave struggle with the disease. There could not be a better way to commemorate Magid but publishing this last book that he and Dr. Conrad Shayo edited so skillfully. Managing the human resources of Information Technology organizations is very distinct from managing human resources in general. IT employees are different from other employees of the organization. Consequently, human resource management departments face many unrecognized problems when they have to deal with the hiring, retention and promotion of IT personnel. This important book provides a very comprehensive and illuminating discussion of the particular aspects pertaining to HR in the IT area. It's a must for every practitioner and scholar dealing with HR Management of IT personnel. This highly recommended book covers the very important area of Human Resource Management in the IT/IS sector. This area is very unique in nature and cannot be derived from general practices and norms of human resource management. Igbaria and Shayo have made a great job in assembling and editing an illuminating collection of chapters dealing with the various aspect of HR management in IT/IS. Such a book has been missing for many years. At last we have now the opportunity to learn on this issue from a great book.
