Paper Abstract:
|
The following paper examines a new form of internship as we know little about the prevalence and characteristics of e-internships to date. 187 e-internships were examined as part of a qualitative review of internet postings. The results demonstrate that postings for e-internships can be found in numerous countries and are posted online in various languages, with marketing postings making up the majority of cases. The remuneration, hours, and duration of e-internships vary widely. Further attention is given to exploring the particular challenges of and research gaps associated with such virtual work placements for the interns, the supervisors, and organizations alike. A number of research recommendations are outlined to address these issues. |
