Abstract: Nowadays, companies in Romania and abroad compete intensely for attracting employees, but the demand in Romania for qualified information technology (IT) personnel exceeds the supply. Previous studies have also reported that the IT market is quite “choosy”. The World IT Project contributes to a better understanding of perceptions of Romanian IT workers towards organizational, technological, and individual issues. It was discovered that IT workers have different preferences, taking into account that the average scores indicate all issues as being important. Continuity planning and disaster recovery, security and privacy, and IT reliability and efficiency are the most important organizational issues. The key technology issues are customer relationship management systems, collaborative and workflow tools, and networks/telecommunications. Overall, Romanian IT professionals are knowledgeable, hard-working, satisfied with their jobs, and willing to develop themselves in their current or other organizations.
