29 19% 61% Unaware Neutral Aware Figure 40: Awareness of National Infocomm Initiatives (ICT Students) 1.3 Major Implications Arising from the Findings The findings from this study have several implications for ICT professionals and ICT students in Singapore. ICT Professionals This survey finds that: 1. Turnaway intention has dropped to 17% in 2014; down from 26% in Turnover intentions remain stable at about 34% (with an average 31% from 2009 to 2014). 3. Job satisfaction has increased by 4% to 67% in 2014; up from 63% in The above survey findings are supported by several factors that facilitate the attraction and retention of ICT professionals. 1. ICT professionals reported that the salaries in, career advancement within, and prestige of the ICT profession attracts and retains ICT professionals in the profession. 2. We find that ICT professionals in the ICT sector reported higher levels of job satisfaction and job autonomy compared to ICT professionals in the non-ict sectors. 3. There is consensus that softer skills are required for progression to next level. 4. Employers of ICT professionals are reported to provide a supportive climate for professional development in technical and non-technical competencies. By contrast, this survey finds several factors that hinder the attraction and retention of ICT professionals. 1. There appears to be a declining sense of commitment to organization over time Singapore Computer Society. All Rights Reserved. 26 P a g e
30 2. Organizational commitment levels are higher in ICT professionals within the ICT sector compared to levels within non-ict sectors. 3. ICT professionals reported they are less engaged with their organizations compared to overall global averages on organizational engagement scores. 4. Work-life balance remains a retention factor for ICT professionals. Taken together, the results suggest several recommendations that employers of IT talent, professional organizations and national agencies might consider: 1. Highlighting these positive perceptions at career fairs to attract fresh talent into the profession. 2. Raise awareness or advertise career advancement opportunities through media channels. For example, regularly highlighting career narratives of successful IT managers and IT technical experts. 3. Actively benchmark ICT salaries within the IT labor market as well as against other science, technology and engineering labor markets. This survey highlights that students, particularly university students, utilize salary surveys in career related decisions and in choices of programme enrollment. 4. Implement practices, such as telecommuting and flexi-time, that are known to facilitate work-life balance. 5. The factors above that hinder attraction and retention vary in their influence by industry sectors. For example, there is no available study that we know of that examines healthy levels of attrition within organizations and professions for the local labor market. As such, additional research is required to examine sectorial influences on attraction and retention and to ascertain appropriate levels of turnover. ICT Students This survey finds that: 1. About 7 of the students are satisfied with their ICT training. 2. About 74% of the students surveyed agreed that an ICT qualification would equip them with the necessary skills and knowledge for an ICT career 3. Upon graduation from their institutes of higher learning, about 67% of polytechnic ICT students intend to pursue higher education and 82% of university ICT students intend to join the workforce. The above survey findings are supported by several factors that facilitate the attraction and retention of students into ICT educational programmes and the ICT workforce Singapore Computer Society. All Rights Reserved. 27 P a g e
31 1. ICT students reported that the salaries in the profession, career advancement within, rate of change in Infocomm work other than technologies and prestige of the ICT profession attract and retain ICT students in the profession. 2. ICT students top choices for such career information are word of mouth, social media, and salary surveys. 3. ICT students chose to enroll in ICT programmes because of interest in the discipline and that a career in ICT provides the opportunity to work in varied areas. However, about a quarter of the ICT students in polytechnics are enrolled in ICT courses not by choice. 4. There is a strong preference for ICT design and development roles. Taken together, the results suggest several recommendations that educational institutions, professional organizations and national agencies might consider: 1. Career counsellors and educators should be aware that ICT students seek opportunities to be a change agent. The rise of big data and its applications to solve a range of problems from individual to societal could be highlighted to students interested in an ICT career. 2. Structural issues in course placement at polytechnics have implications on the costs of ICT human capital development. The lack of interest in ICT courses tends to lower satisfaction with ICT training and workforce conversion. Our data estimates a 41% leakage out of ICT after graduation. This leakage may contribute to a reduction in IT talent in areas such as games design and development Singapore Computer Society. All Rights Reserved. 28 P a g e
