Abstract: | The purpose of this research is to examine the impact that Student and Exchange Visitor Information System (SEVIS) is having
on the professional worklives of international student and scholar advisors (ISSAs) on U.S. college and university campuses.
ISSAs are clearly satisfied with their work and hold their institutions in high regard. However, SEVIS is having a profound
effect on their morale, satisfaction, and their likelihood to leave the field. That is, SEVIS (i.e., reporting, training,
time) and the quality of worklife (i.e., professional activities and career development, recognition for competence and their
expertise, external and intra-department relationships, perceptions of discrimination) are important to ISSAs, and thus have
a strong effect on their level of satisfaction and/or morale, and their subsequent intentions to stay or leave their career/profession. |
