Abstract
This paper will present lessons learned in managing IT professional staff in The Allen Institute, a learning & technology research facility at the University of Missouri. Primary findings are the need to understand the motivational needs of primarily young, full time and student part-time programmers and analysts. Also reported is the contribution of laboratory design in improving and sustaining job performance. Another finding is the need to have balanced and informal relations among faculty, full-time IT staff, student programmers and other staff.
