Ginzberg and Baroudi [1988] proposed several propositions regarding the diversity of the career anchors of IS personnel. In addition, they suggested that geographic and organizational factors might influence the patterns of career anchors. This study examines several of these propositions through a survey administered to IS personnel in four large organizations in several geographic locations. In contrast to some other recent studies, the career anchors displayed by this sample of IS personnel were highly varied, with neither technical competence nor management competence dominating. Additionally, few meaningful differences were found in the patterns of career anchors across industry or geography.
