“…As a result, studies of men alone -or studies of jobs where men dominate (like IT jobs) -are regarded as irrelevant to gender. This assumption should be challengedespecially as the ratio of women in the IT industry has declined in the past decade to pre-1990 levels (von Hellens et al 2012).…”

“…Since that time (especially during the past decade), research on gender in the IT workforce has become an ongoing theme at two conferences: SIG MIS and AMCIS. In the last decade, there have been special issues on gender in two journals: Information Technology & People (Adam, Howcroft & Richardson 2002) and Information Systems Journal (von Hellens et al 2012), plus a special issue on critical research that included gender research (Kvasny & Richardson 2006).…”

“…Reaching back 20 years, SIG CPR featured its first pair of papers about gender as an issue in the IT workforce in 1993 (McLean et al 1993;Tan & Igbaria 1993) and many papers thereafter. During the past six years, SIG MIS has featured many panels on gender issues (Guzman et al 2008; and theoretically-informed empirical papers (Trauth et al 2012). Of course, there are key papers on gender and IS in venues other than SIG MIS recently, including editorials (von Hellens, Trauth & Fisher 2012) and conceptual papers (Howcroft & Trauth 2008) in IS journals.…”

Despite many contributions to research on gender and IT -both empirical and conceptual -the IS field lacks an overall review of this stream of research. We provide such a review of IS research on gender and IT spanning 20 years, following the guidelines for conducting a "descriptive review" (King and He 2006). Focusing on IS journals and conferences, we identify over 190 papers in which the authors specifically mentioned one or more of a set of terms in their title, appendix or keywords (e.g., gender, sex, men, women, etc.). We identify the recurring authors in this research stream and we classify these authors' research methods, types of respondents studied, authors' epistemological stance and their gender theory-in-use. We identify four topic areas and, for each, we provide descriptive summaries of corresponding papers: IT ethics; IT careers and education; IT adoption and use; attitudes to telework. Many papers we located neglect to specify a clear theory-in-use regarding gender (i.e., whether the authors believe that observed differences between men and women are socially constructed, due to biological factors, or the result of other influences). We found few studies that regard men, who account for a majority of IT employees, as gendered or consider gender a relevant issue when studying male employees, teleworkers, or computer users. Authors of most papers seem to assume that the presence of women is necessary to trigger gender as an issue.

“…The Millennial generation is defined by those who are born approximately from 1980 to 2000 and, we will focus on the trailing millennials (age [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] that are currently entering our educational experiences and workplaces [35]. Past research has not tied female IT data with the millennial generational cohorts and the differences in terms of values.…”

“…There have been numerous research efforts in the area [15][16][17], however, there remains a need to understand the factors of societal structures that may inhibit recruitment and retention of women [18]. According to Myers et al "the picture of why women leave the IT field, or choose not to get into it in the first place, is still incomplete and fragmented [5]."…”
