Abstract:
This study examines the impact of foreign language pragma-professional communicative
competence on the job performance of IT specialists. Pragma-professional communicative
competence refers to the ability to effectively communicate technical information in a professional
setting. The research suggests that IT specialists with higher levels of pragma-professional
communicative competence are more likely to be perceived as effective communicators by their
peers and managers, have higher job satisfaction, successfully complete projects on time and within
budget, and have greater chances of being promoted within their organizations. The study
concludes that having high levels of pragma-professional communicative competence is crucial for
the success of IT specialists in their field, but it's not the only factor for job performance, jobspecific technical skills, experience, and problem-solving abilities also play a role. The research
design was a mixed approach: focus group interview and correlation. The correlation shows that
PPCC has a significant impact on successful project competition and effective collaboration.
