Professional Identity Crisis: Balancing the Internal and External Perception of Professional Image (Emerald Points)

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 de-professionalisation pattern and ever-expanding 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.
