IT self-employment is a growing trend. IS research however has mostly focused on careers of IT professionals in an organizational context. In this study, we use the Protean Career perspective to investigate reasons for the transition of IT professionals from organizational to self-employment in IT. Using eight waves of a longitudinal survey, we find that job satisfaction, growth need strength and IT human capital are positively associated with this career decision. We contribute to the literature on career mobility of IT professionals.
