Information Technology Issues in Taiwan

Abstract

This chapter covers the organizational, technological, and individual information technology (IT) issues among IT workers in Taiwan. The results were obtained from a survey of 303 IT workers in Taiwan. Top-organizational issues identified by IT workers include security and privacy, and IT reliability and efficiency. Network/telecommunications is the top-ranked technology and infrastructure issue, which is expected, given Taiwan’s IT industry’s strengths in hardware manufacturing. IT workers in Taiwan seem to be moderately satisfied with their jobs and intend to stay. However, they may not be confident about the sustainability of their companies, given the challenges facing the Taiwanese IT industry and economy.
