Emergence of new professions and novel approaches to work contribute to newer causes of occupational stress. The current study focuses on one such emergent group namely, the software development professionals. An attempt has been made to examine the role of self-efficacy, collective efficacy and perception of control in the study of occupational stress. The data was collected from 156 software development professionals in India. Variables such as self-efficacy, collective efficacy and perception of control using multiple moderated regression revealed that these variables moderate the negative consequences of stress with respect to work exhaustion, organizational commitment and intent to turnover but not with respect to job satisfaction. The results indicate that self-efficacy and collective efficacy have to be strengthened in order to mitigate the negative consequences of stress. The knowledge pertaining to causes of stress can empower individuals and organizations to plan effective stress management interventions.

Occupational stress among information system professionals is gaining more recognition because it may lead to high turnover and less productivity. The present research focuses on software development professionals to examine their occupational stress and demographic characteristics in India. A questionnaire was developed to identify the occupational stress among software development professionals (SDP) using dimensions such as age, average daily working hours, gender, training and nature of work. Data from 156 respondents working in information technology companies in Chennai and Bangalore was collected. It was found that those who were more than 30 years of age have stress due to work family interface. Employees working less than 10 hours daily experience more stress due to fear of obsolescence, individual team interaction, work culture, lack of family support and technical risk propensity. In terms of gender, men and women professionals do not differ in their occupational stress. However, employees who had computer training especially in software programming in addition to their engineering degree face more stress due to fear of obsolescence and technical risk propensity. Software development professionals whose nature of work is purely technical experience more stress because of fear of obsolescence than others. The results are discussed and based on these the relevant implications are suggested.

This chapter shows how software development professionals use the provided flow charts and pseudo-code to create the Dialog Development Manager. Analysts then use the Dialog Development Manager to create the problem-specific knowledge needed by a natural language processor to support the conversation between Socrates DigitalTM and end users. The Dialog Development Manager guides the analysts through design and development of the Understand, Explore, Materialize, and Realize phases to create the conversational interface for Socrates DigitalTM.

The Way

Design Thinking (DT) has been chosen as an approach to support problem-solving by many software development companies. However, there are divergences between the professionals of these companies concerning which techniques are performed, which steps are followed, and the way to implement this approach, as it proposes itself, to be divergent to generate numerous alternatives and, also, convergent, to find a solution. As a practical way to apply DT in software development, a collection of techniques are implemented during different working spaces provided by the DT models. Therefore, selecting the appropriate techniques within the set of the available ones is challenging. Aiming to present a solution for helping software development professionals in how to select the appropriate techniques for DT activities, we propose the development of a theoretical context-based recommendation model for selecting DT techniques for software development. Thus, we aim to develop a recommender and collaborative system of DT techniques and to validate it through industry-based empirical studies. We have already characterized the DT techniques that professionals are using and how they select them, and the benefits and challenges of using DT. These results were used to inform the proposal and the validation of a first version of the DT techniques recommendation tool, which presents the tool first round of core features.
