In a professional world that is quickly transforming and becoming increasingly volatile and uncertain, the nature of professional identity is complex and dynamic. The current literature has overlooked many issues concerning how professionals react and behave in the face of threats to their identity and image and there is a lack of a systemic analysis of the phenomenon of professional identity crisis.
This book contends that a full comprehension of the dynamics taking place is now paramount from the individual perspective and provides a new theoretical and practical approach to the analysis and interpretation of these issues. Providing a novel understanding, the book delivers an empirical case to explore professionals' reactions in a context characterised by a sharp deprofessionalisation pattern and everexpanding regulation, uncertainty, and external pressures, which constrain and mould accountants' professional boundaries and activities.
This book will prove a useful read to researchers across organisation studies, as well as interested professionals. 410 0$aEmerald points. 606 $aProfessional employees 606 $aProfessional ethics 606 $aBusiness & Economics$xGeneral$2bisacsh 606 $aBusiness & management$2bicssc 615 0$aProfessional employees. 615 0$aProfessional ethics. 615 7$aBusiness & Economics$xGeneral. 615 7$aBusiness & management. 676 $a650.14019 700 $aTomo$b Andrea$0761116 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910820182203321 996 $aProfessional identity crisis$93996106 997 $aUNINA
