- W3036708400 abstract "In the Netherlands there is a growing demand for science, technology, engineering and mathematics(STEM) professionals. Although the number of STEM students in higher education is growing, stillonly few male alumni opt for a career in STEM. It remains unclear why such a large number of maletechnical professionals opt for a career outside the technical sector. Professional identity is proven tobe a useful concept in trying to understand the motives for choosing for a career outside the technicalsector. A professional identity is constructed by social experiences. Furthermore, the development ofprofessional identity is a life long process. Therefore, this research aims to find out what experiencesin which life phases have been crucial for STEM alumni for the choice to either leave or stay in thetechnical sector. In order to gain insight into their decision process, life history interviews are beingconducted with eight alumni that stayed in the technical sector and five alumni that left the technicalsector, all with a technical degree from a university or a university of applied sciences. In theseinterviews, experiences from their whole life cycle are being narrated. Based on the life histories, threepatterns can be distinguished: the engineers that stayed in the technical sector, the scientists that stayedin the technical sector and the scientists that left the technical sector. The engineers are the alumni thatdescribe having technical hobbies throughout their whole lives and describe being more practicaloriented. Their experiences show that they know they want to have a technical study and career andtherefore their decision process is quick and clear. These experiences have been crucial for theirchoice to stay in the technical sector. The scientists that stayed and left are the ones that are moretheoretical and want to have a certain cognitive challenge in their study and career. Their decisionprocess in study and career is less stable and clear than the decision process of the engineers. Thepatterns of the scientists that stayed and left the technical sector can be characterized as quite similar.From university period their patterns start to diverge. A lack of professional socialization activities andsearching for characteristics that in their eyes cannot be found in the technical sector (i.e. wantingvariety and flexibility and a fast career) could be indicated as motives for leaving the technical sector.The present study provides insights into the life experiences that contributed to the professionalidentity development of men in STEM." @default.
