The Influence of Culture on Women’s IT Career Choices	2020-03-10		.txt	text/plain	4398	244	54	A number of factors influence women's IT career choices, such as previous programming exposure, parents, teachers and role models. The aim of this exploratory study was to determine if the factor, Culture influences women's IT career choices in South Africa. The findings indicate that the factor Culture plays an important role when women make IT career choices as well as when females decide to remain in an IT career. Cultural factors that influence career choice include but are not limited to religion, personal relations, family responsibilities and attitudes towards networking [16] . The research problem addressed in this study is that many young South African women (female scholars) do not consider a career in IT, possibly as a result of cultural influences. An important finding in this study (Table 3) indicates that for the two ethnic groupings, African/Coloured/Indian and White, the respondents perceived the influence of culture on an IT career choice statistically differently.	./cache/cord-020203-dtqjuemu.txt	./txt/cord-020203-dtqjuemu.txt
