“…Researchers also explored the reasons why students chose IT as a career (Akbulut & Looney, 2007;Comber et al, 2021;Crichigno et al, 2020;Leigh et al, 2009;Stahl & Wood, 2006). here have also been research papers about whether or not IT professionals intend to remain with their current employers (Cotton and Adya 2018). Employees' motivations for staying or leaving a company can be better understood according to the research presented by Zhang et al (2012).…”

The purpose of the current study is to identify key contributors, recent dynamics, domains, and advocates for future study directions in the field of Information Technology professionals in the context of ageism, personal and social well-being. In the study, a bibliometric technique is employed to assess the global scientific output of research on IT professionals and to investigate the status and developments in this sector from 1998 to mid-2022. For quantitative and qualitative assessments of publication outputs and author contributions, the VOSviewer programme was utilised. To find existing research on this topic, the publication utilised bibliometric analysis on a sample of 294 papers collected from the Scopus database. It was discovered that the primary focus of critical study in this field is on job satisfaction, employee engagement, health issues, software development, and retention. There are implications for research and IT management. Thus, there is a need for future research on the role of the specific characteristics of embeddedness, such as diversity, ageism, mixed job demands, turnover, and turnaway, among IT Professionals.

“…While e-mentoring sidesteps traditional barriers inherent in face-to-face mentorship, research shows relationship quality may suffer. For instance, Cotton and Adya [14] demonstrate that as dyadic mentoring relationships become more virtual, relationship satisfaction decreases. Similarly, Stone and Lazereski [55] suggest protégés may misunderstand information, have fewer opportunities to clarify advice, and be less receptive to information and advice that mentors provide through electronic media compared to face-to-face communication.…”

Substance use disorders (SUDs) are characterized by an inability to decrease a substance use (e.g., alcohol or opioids) despite negative repercussions. SUDs are clinically diagnosable, hazardous, and considered a public health issue. Sponsorship, a specialized type of peer mentorship, is vital in the recovery process and originates from 12-step fellowship programs such as Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA). To investigate sponsorship relationship practices and to identify design opportunities for digitally-mediated peer support, we conducted 27 in-depth interviews with members of AA and NA. We identified five key sponsorship relationship practices relevant for designing social computing tools to support sponsorship and recovery: 1) assessing dyadic compatibility, 2) managing sponsorship with or without technology, 3) establishing boundaries, 4) building a peer support network, and 5) managing anonymity. We identify social computing and digitally-mediated design opportunities and implications.

The study aims to analyze the role of e-mentoring in developing leadership skills between mentors and mentees, particularly in global environment. This research is using qualitative approach that work on a comprehensive literature development on e-mentoring platform for future leaders. The COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted the labour market, making it difficult for young people to secure productive employment. They often lack experience, talents, and social networks, making it difficult to find suitable candidates. Informational asymmetry and limited access to resources further exacerbate these employment obstacles. A significant proportion of youth are not employed, in school, or training, resulting in diminished employment prospects and challenges in adapting to the workplace. The result shown that e-mentoring offers numerous advantages, including accessibility, professional development, and enhanced communication skills. It allows mentees to ask questions anytime, anywhere, and can be used for professional growth. E-mentoring also improves teamwork and accessibility, allowing for diverse collaboration and breaking down sociocultural barriers. However, it also presents challenges, such as ensuring proper communication and addressing cultural differences. Overall, e-mentoring offers a more accessible and effective mentoring system.
