Abstract

The purpose of this study is to obtain knowledge to promote individual independent career development and to increase the mobility of human resources from existing industries to the digital industry. In this paper, we identify the process by which IT-related workers change jobs to the digital industry. An interview survey was conducted, and an exploratory study was conducted on the job change process and its facilitating factors. As a result, the following facilitating factors were extracted: proactive approach to the unknown, recognition of one's knowledge skills, and the decision to change jobs under the influence of others.
