Professional/management relations: Imagery vs. action
研究了管理者与专业人员对专业性的不同形象认知，发现这些形象在人事决策中被使用，且权力在形象形成中至关重要，管理方提升专业人员形象可能面临失控风险。
Abstract Managers and professionals have images about what professionalism involves. These images are used in personnel decisions and in other evaluation situations. The images used by professionals have multiple dimensions, many of which do not correspond to conventional stereotypes. The variable of power is of critical importance in developing and maintaining professional images. If management seeks to enhance the image of its personnel who are labeled professionals, it runs some risk of losing control of these personnel. The imagery of professionalization is viewed as developing more fully after individuals leave their professional training.
