ABSTRACT:
The area of information
technology (IT) has undergone constant changes that, consequently, impact
directly on professional and in companies that work with this sector. The aim
of this study was to identify the motivational profile and the slope on the
professional career of the student. This is a field which is applied in questionnaires
closed with students. The sample was composed 94 students of two universities
of computer in Brazil. Two instruments used were the inventory of Schwartz
values (IVS) that offer some perspectives of appreciation of employee matching
your goals and interests, and the other instruments were the questionnaire by
Edgar Schein on professional inclination, which allows you to identify the
relationship and prospects of those with work and their lives. The results
reveal that students and IT professionals surveyed here are self-determined
individuals who value the lifestyle, benevolent and hedonists, seeking the
welfare and satisfaction in work and love challenges. Then we conclude that
professionals and IT students are or will be, mostly professionals looking for
constant challenges and personal and professional satisfaction, adapting the
work as best as possible to your lifestyle.
