Although all decisions are about facts, we mediate them through our feelings. In periods of rapid change we rely much less on facts and more on our intuitions and experience. The uncertainty associated with Information Systems (IS) means that the corner-stone for success of IS professionals depends on their feelings-based abilities to work with people. With this book Eugene Kaluzniacky has filled a gap in the book-shelf of those who would wish to become successful developers of IS projects.

Eugene Kaluzniacky's new book, Managing Psychological Factors in Information Systems Work', presents IM/IT workers with both an orientation to "emotional intelligence" and a helpful agenda for the stressed employee to achieve deep, "personal re-engineering". Kaluzniacky also warns of an imminent "burnout epidemic" which the IM/IT profession may be facing. His book is a practical guide to help IM/IT workers face this "psychological ultimatum" and should be required reading for anyone who requires a new self-awareness, and new insights to help deal with the everyday pressures of the workplace."
