She wrote in her opinion piece that she felt guilty for ruining everyone's lunch. To read more about her experience, click here.

IT Contractors - I'm a student looking to finish my homework.

Sorin from Browns Bay

Hi lovely people,

The reason I'm writing to you is a research project I am working on, as part of my MBA. In particular, I am looking at IT contractors, born between 1980 and 2000. The purpose of this project is to understand what motivates millennial IT contractors in New Zealand, as of … View more
Hi lovely people,

The reason I'm writing to you is a research project I am working on, as part of my MBA. In particular, I am looking at IT contractors, born between 1980 and 2000. The purpose of this project is to understand what motivates millennial IT contractors in New Zealand, as of 2018, at the beginnings of the fourth industrial revolution.

Motivation has no "one size fits all formula". Additionally, multiple studies claim that IT professionals have unique attitudes in regards to job motivation and satisfaction. Moreover, New Zealand lacks such studies.

Understanding the motivational factors of millennial IT contractors will help management professionals to address the issue better and also allow practitioners to understand their position in the industry.

Copy-Paste this link in your web browser to access this survey: massey.au1.qualtrics.com...

Information is collected expressly for the purpose of research and will be collated and presented in a way where no individuals or organisations can be identified.

For any comments or concerns, please contact me or Professor Craig Johnson, Director - Ethics, telephone 063569099 ext 85271, email: humanethics@massey.ac.nz.

If you can get me in touch with any people that match the above description, or forward my request to them, It would be of great help for me and value for New Zealand's IT industry. Also, please feel free to share this message with anyone you think might be able to help.

I'm looking forward to hearing from you,

Halloween is almost upon us and it's getting bigger every year. How is it in your neighbourhood? Do you enjoy it - why or why not? In some parts of town, where it has become huge, residents are requesting lolly donations to help them cope. Is it right to ask for donations? Is Halloween becoming too stressful? Do you live in a Halloween-crazed area but prefer to stay out of it?
