“…As I discussed earlier, some studies have shown that internships help people decide on vocations and establish work values (Brooks et al, 1995;Coco, 2000;D'Abate, 2010;Pedro, 1984;Taylor, 1988). Other research, however, has illustrated that internships do not predict jobfit (Callanan & Benzing, 2004), amount of occupational information, or vocational commitment (Brooks et al, 1995).…”

“…To begin, internships educate students and help them decide on a career (Brooks, Cornelius, Greenfield, & Joseph, 1995;Coco, 2000;D'Abate, 2010;Pedro, 1984;Taylor, 1988). For example, Taylor (1988) surveyed 67 college students and found that interns displayed a greater crystallization of their vocational self-concept and work values than people without internship experience.…”

“…Students consistently show an enhancement of their positive self-image regarding their abilities (Nefstead, 1982). Pedro (1984) noted several Students may become more ambitious and independent as a result of the internship experiences. Herrick (1987) found that students, upon completion of their internship, rated themselves higher in perceived self-efficacy and skill development, but rated themselves lower in anxiety.…”

“…The explanation for male successes is unclear, except that success might be linked to a predominantly male profession such as computer science. It seems that there is no clear and consistent description in the literature (Pedro, 1984;Shaffer & Johnson, 1980;Vecchiotti & Korn, 1980), regarding gender influence on job offers. When studying MIS internships' impact on full-time job offers, we take the gender issue into consideration because it might affect students' MIS full-time job offers.…”

Executive SummaryFor the first time in many years, Management Information Systems (MIS) students and faculty are seeking ways to improve full-time job placement for program graduates. Due to sharp IT budget cuts, the slowing economy, and outsourcing, job opportunities for MIS graduates have become scarcer than ever before. In addition to achieving good academic performance, MIS students have adopted aggressive approaches to securing employment, such as building MIS-related internship experiences, adding additional majors, and taking more technical course work. Research on the critical factors affecting MIS full-time job opportunities has not received enough attention, and little empirical research is currently available. There are several factors generally known to affect full-time job opportunities for graduates. These factors include the intern-like work experience, nature of work experience, multiple majors, the timing of major declaration, grade point average, and gender difference. An urgently needed empirical study has been completed and the results are reported in this paper.
