Beskrivning
In a professional world that is quicklytransforming and becoming increasingly volatile and uncertain, the nature ofprofessional identity is complex and dynamic. The current literature hasoverlooked many issues concerning how professionals react and behave in theface of threats to their identity and image and there is a lack of a systemicanalysis of the phenomenon of professional identity crisis.This book contends that a fullcomprehension of the dynamics taking place is now paramount from the individualperspective and provides a new theoretical and practical approach to theanalysis and interpretation of these issues. Providing a novel understanding,the book delivers an empirical case to explore professionals' reactions in acontext characterised by a sharp de-professionalisation pattern and ever-expandingregulation, uncertainty, and external pressures, which constrain and mould accountants' professional boundaries and activities.This book will prove a usefulread to researchers across organisation studies, as well as interestedprofessionals.

The author examines the reasons behind the crisis of professional identity occurring at the individual level from a behavioral perspective, as well as possible strategies and behaviors for professionals to cope with them. She considers the multifaceted aspects concerning professional identity as a complex phenomenon and the threats and struggles related to it, as well as consequences in terms of coping strategies and behaviors and their effects on professional identity; the reasons behind the identity crisis, particularly deprofessionalization, precariousness, and the proletarianization of professions, as well as the importance of flexibility; and how professionals respond to uncertainties, drawing on the case of Italian accountants.
