Full textAbstract:
L'évolution économique et la mutation des droits nationaux, sous l'influence européenne, ont contraint les professionnels libéraux, soumis à une discipline particulièrement stricte, à la gestion de la déloyauté. Comportement concurrentiel déloyal, le dénigrement a des conséquences extrêmement préjudiciables à l'exercice de l'activité professionnelle. Cependant, lorsque ce procédé atteint une profession dont le crédit public est l'essence même de l'activité, la sanction doit être encore plus efficiente. Le dommage concurrentiel subi par le professionnel, ou par la profession, du fait d'un dénigrment peut n'être jamais réparable. La répression doit alors être adaptée aux intérêts protégésThe economic evolution and the national rights mutations, under european influence, have bind liberal professions, submite to hard disciplinary rules, to manage with the economic unloyalty. Unloyal competitive act, denigration has extremely harmful consequences to their professional activities. But, when this proceed hold on a profession that public high esteem is the essential their activity, the punishment must be more efficient. The competitive professional or profession damage, du to denigration must be never rightable. The punishment way must be agree with protected interests

Full textAbstract:
Les professionnels libéraux exerçant à titre individuel sont les derniers à ne pouvoir prétendre à une procédure collective. Plusieurs projets existent, cependant, aucun ne prend en considération toutes les spécificités de ces professions. Même adaptées, ces procédures favoriseraient la concentration du secteur libéral. Pour des motifs déontologiques, les sociétés commerciales par la forme constitueraient le principal vivier de repreneurs, l'arrivée concomitante de sociétés holding renforçant ce mouvement. Les procédures collectives remettraient en cause les exigences de probité et de responsabilité personnelle du praticien pour les actes qu'il accomplit. Difficile à circonscrire, la notion de profession libérale serait probablement délaissée au profit de celle "d'indépendant", critère ne suffisant pas à la caractériser. Une procédure collective régulée, reposant sur les spécificités de la profession libérale, ainsi que sur des autorités régionales de régulation serait envisageableThe professionals (generally licensed professions, including lawyers, doctors, accountants, many types of higher-level health providers, architects. . . ), and the uncorporated associations of professionals aren't concerned by the bankruptcy law. Many projects does exist, however anyone is considering the caracteristics of those professions, like the ethic or the personal liability. Even adapted, the bankruptcy proceeding could help the concentration of those activities. For deontological reasons, the companies limited by share would be the principal source of buyers of those "firms". Moreover, the professionals would be authorised to not paying their debts, even for negligence or malpractice, attempting to the deontology; the bankruptcy trustee could enter into the offices, attempting to the professional's secrets. Then, it could be difficult to distinguish the professions from business. The notion of "profession libérale" could be left in favour of another one : the "independents"

Rapha, Stéphane. "Les professions réglementées du champ sportif." Thesis, Toulouse 1, 2016. http://www.theses.fr/2016TOU10035/document.
Full textAbstract:
Les professions réglementées font l’objet de critiques de nature économique et sociale, qui interrogent directement la nécessité et la proportionnalité des cadres juridiques à leur soutien. L’époque apparaissant propice au questionnement et à la réformation de certaines d’entre elles, la présente recherche s’attache à interroger celles du champ sportif et notamment la profession d’éducateur sportif. Pour cette dernière qui regroupe en réalité une mosaïque de métiers (animateur, entraîneur, enseignant et éducateur) les entraves posées à son accès et à son exercice par le Code du sport ainsi que par certains règlements fédéraux nous apparaissent mal conciliées avec les libertés économiques et notamment la liberté professionnelle. Il en résulte une réglementation professionnelle disproportionnée, infondée et peu respectueuse des exigences de légalité, qui pour autant constitue un nid de rentes et de privilèges, moins pour les professionnels eux-mêmes, que pour les acteurs institutionnels. Si le contrôle juridictionnel apparaît pour l’heure insuffisant, pour saisir ces irrégularités et les censurer, ce particularisme sportif dans le concert des professions réglementées nous semble en sursis. Confronté à l’exigence de transparence imposée par l’Union européenne, victime de sa complexification erratique qui heurte les libertés premières et les exigences économiques de notre époque, ce cadre juridique n’est pas plus à même de contenir les différentes stratégies de contournement. En définitive, cette réglementation surannée est sommée de se réformer, selon des perspectives dont nous nous proposons d'esquisser les contoursRegulated professions are subject to economic and social critique which leads us to question the necessity and the proportionality of the legal framework required to support them. Times seem favorable for the questioning and the reform process of some of these professions. Our current research aims at questioning these sports field professions. The latter bring together a mosaic of professions (counselor, coach, teacher and sports instructor). The obstacles to accessing and practicing these professions by the Code du sport (Sport Code/legislation) in addition to certain federal regulations seem to be poorly reconciled with economic and professional freedom. As a result, the professional regulations are disproportionate, unfounded and do not respect the legal requirements which nonetheless represent a whole host of annuities and privileges, to a lesser extent for the professionals themselves than for the institutional actors. Jurisdictional control currently appears to be insufficient to grasp these irregularities and to censor them. Nevertheless, the specificity of these sport professions seems to be on borrowed time. Confronted with the need for transparency imposed by the European Union, this legal framework is a victim of its erratic complexity which comes up against the freedom and economic demands of our time; the legal framework is not any better at controlling the different bypass strategies. Ultimately, these outdated regulations are summoned to reform themselves according to the perspectives outlined in the following paper

Full textAbstract:
Les professions libérales sont définies par la loi du 22 mars 2012 et sont caractérisées par leur degré de qualification, leur indépendance et leur grande ancienneté pour certaines comme les médecins ou les avocats. En effet, leurs racines peuvent remonter jusqu' à l'Antiquité gréco-romaine et de ce fait, elles sont profondément ancrées dans nos sociétés occidentales.Les professions libérales ont surmonté les grandes crises des siècles passés tout en conservant les règles et traditions qui leurs sont intrinsèques comme l'indépendance ou le respect de règles déontologiques. Néanmoins, ces professions se sont peu à peu rapprochées des modèles classiques du monde des affaires en s'assimilant elles-mêmes à des entrepreneurs et en se regroupant pour exercer. Actuellement, elles font face à de nouveaux changements initiés par la volonté des institutions de l'Union européenne de les rendre plus compétitives et de les soumettre aux règles du droit de la concurrence. La récente et difficile adoption de la loi dite "Macron" en est la parfaite illustration. Ainsi, l'étude de leurs origines et de leur développement permet, d'une part, de comprendre les raisons de l'existence de structures d'exercice qui leurs sont propres et d’autre part, de se questionner sur leur nature, la préservation de leurs caractéristiques et les potentielles limites à l'évolution de leurs modes d'exercice en communIndependent professions, which are called in french « professions libérales », are a certain type of professionals highly qualified such as lawyers or medical doctors, for instance.Their common roots are deeply attached to the long history of occidental societies starting from the Greek and Roman Antiquity.They faced and overcame several crisis during their evolution but they managed to preserve their main features such as independence or specific codes of ethics.Indeed, step by step, they started to merge with the common classic business structures and adapt their specificities to the modern economy.Nowadays, they still have to adapt themselves to new major economic stakes including those coming from the European Union requirements of becoming more competitive and follow the rules of competition law.On the one hand, studying the origins of those professions and the way they built themselves, allow us to understand why they needed their own structures and ways of working together. On the other hand, this approach leads us to the following question: Are the independent high qualified professions, or liberal professions, doomed to reach limits in their evolution toward modernity because of their own nature?In France, it seems like they are, and will be, undergoing changes for years to come and maybe their legal definition will also have to evolve with them

Full textAbstract:
Les opérations de contrôle fiscal révèlent une vulnérabilité de la profession libérale dont les causes résident, principalement, dans l'imprécision de notions fiscales essentielles que l'administration interprète en sa faveur. Toutefois, cette incertitude peut ne pas constituer nécessairement un handicap, mais au contraire, conduire à une plus grande souplesse dans l'interprétation des prescriptions fiscales. Au surplus, le particularisme des professions libérales règlementées constitue une gêne au contrôle, d'autant que le juge n'hésite pas à sanctionner les pratiques qui s'écartent de la légalitéThe operations of fiscal control show a vulnerability of the liberal profession, which finds its causes in the inaccurancy of the essential fiscal notions which the civil service uses in its favour. Nevertheless, this uncertainty, may not be necessarily an handicap and on the contraty it can help give more flexibility in the fiscal prescriptions. Adding to that the regulated liberal profession constitue a difficulty for the control, especially when the judge doesn't hesitate to penalize pratices which are not always legal

Au terme de notre analyse, une question reste en suspens : alors que les professeurs de l'urbanisme, notamment celles liees a la planification, au bresil comme ailleurs, semblent aujourd'hui depasses, pourront-elles construire un nouveau projet professionnel?This thesis examines the professional strategies of brazilian urbanists and planners since the origins of those professions. Our approach is based on the sociology of professions and on a comparison between professions of urbanism's development in others countries. It shows the apparent brazilian paradox: the professions of urbanism, always progressists, have gained more recognition under authoritarian regimes than under democratic regimes (except the developentalist era) in brazil. It seems that the professions of urbanism, especially planners, in brasil as everywhere else, will not survive. Can urbanists and planners build a new professional progejt ?

Puech-Coutouly, Lionel. "Droit et déontologies des professions libérales." Toulouse 1, 2005. http://www.theses.fr/2005TOU10024.
Full textAbstract:
La déontologie des professions libérales est née de la volonté des membres du corps professionnel de s'organiser et de se doter de règles à forte imprégnation morale pour donner à l'exercice de ces professions toutes les garanties nécessaires à l'intérieur mais aussi à l'extérieur du groupe. Ici, la production déontologique est inhérente à l'institution préalable d'un ordre professionnel qui, parmi ses nombreuses missions, doit veiller à la défense de l'intérêt collectif. Le rôle premier de la déontologie est de donner cohérence et discipline aux éléments du groupe professionnel et d'assurer la confiance aux tiers. Pour lui donner son rang, l'État peut intervenir alors en la revêtant de son sceau. Accédant à la juridicité au sein de l'ordre juridique, elle est frappée de la sanction lorsque s'exerce le pouvoir disciplinaire. Imprégnée des caractères qui sont propres et qui la distinguent du droit commun, semblant a priori se cantonner à la sphère professionnelle, elle n'en accède pas moins au rang de règle juridique à part entière envahissant peu à peu les sphères de la jurisprudence ou de la loi. Par un processus d'infiltration fondé sur son caractère obligatoire et reconnu, elle sert alors de matière à ceux qui doivent créer ou appliquer le droit civil ou pénal. Elle définit le comportement que doit avoir celui qui exerce la profession et crée ainsi les standards qui seront utilisés par le juge étatique. Elle contrarie le droit civil et accède ainsi à un degré supérieur de reconnaissance au sein de l'ordre juridique. Dans le cadre d'échanges réciproques, voire aussi de rapports de force, la déontologie s'incline parfois devant le droit étatiqueThe deontology of the liberal professions came from the will of members of the professional body to organize themselves and to set up rules with a high level of moral impregnation in order to give to their practices all the necessary guarantees inside and also outside the group. Here, the deontological production is inherent in the former institution of an occupational structure called "ordre" which, among its numerous missions, must look after the defence of the collective interest. The main function of deontology is to give coherence and discipline to the members of the occupational class and to ensure the confidence of the third parties. To back its statute, the State can set its seal. Attaining the juridicity within the legal order, it has at its disposal the faculty to sanction when exerciting the disciplinary power. Impregnated with own characters, distinct from the common right and appearing a priori to be limited to the professional sphere, it is not less than a full legal rule interfering little by little with the jurisprudence and law spheres. According to an infiltration process based on its statutory and recognized character, it is used as a basic substance by those which have to create or apply the civil or penal law. It defines the recommended professional practices and consequently it creates the norms which have to be used by the official judge. It may contradict the civil law and in this way reachesa higher level of recognition within the legal order. Within the context of reciprocal exchanges, and even in confrontation, the official right sometimes prevails over the deontology

The purpose of this study was to identify the executive skills employed by County Extension Directors (CEDs), Trade Association Directors (TADs) and Team Leaders/Chiefs-of-party (TL/COPs), to determine which frequently used executive skills were common to all three positions and to identify the major source of executive skill acquisition. Analysis of the executive skills employed by CEDs and TL/COPs (the TADs were excluded from this analysis for statistical reasons) revealed 34 frequently used executive skills common to both groups. These were in the areas of problem-solving, group dynamics, decision-making, coordinating, communication and organization. Most respondents acquired their executive skills on the job, but 85% held Bachelor's degrees and over half of those were in agricultural disciplines. Study results indicated an opportunity for Colleges of Agriculture to develop executive skill curricula in addition to technical curricula at the undergraduate level. Internships and experiential classroom activities were recommended to facilitate executive skill development.

Full textAbstract:
Partant du constat que l’application des principes régulant l’activité médicale en Afrique Noire Francophone soulève d’importantes préoccupations, il nous a semblé intéressant de réfléchir à trouver des réponses adéquates qui permettront aux règles déontologiques en vigueur d’être révélatrices d’un contexte marqué par des aspects socio-culturels dont on ne peut faire fi. Dans cette démarche, c’est en remontant l’histoire que nous avons essayé de comprendre comment ces Codes de Déontologie Médicale (CDM) africains, essentiellement calqués sur le modèle français ont été élaborés et comment parviennent-ils à survivre dans un environnement où l’essor d’une déontologie médicale parallèle ne semble rencontrer aucun obstacle ? Dès lors, la question de l’adaptation de ces CDM aux spécificités locales s’est posée avec acuité. Cependant, des interrogations subsistent : l’adaptation en réponse à l’inadéquation des divers CDM apportera-telle toutes les réponses à la complexité des situations quelquefois en rapport avec l’évolution des sociétés contemporaines ? Ne risque-t-elle pas d’oeuvrer pour une marginalisation programmée de la déontologie médicale en Afrique ? D’un autre point de vue et parallèlement à la conception et à la mise en oeuvre des réformes attendues, la perspective d’une déontologie médicale universelle applicable quelque soit le lieu et adaptable à son environnement, ne réussira-t-elle pas à trouver un compromis socialement et médicalement acceptable où le respect de l’Homme se placera au dessus des éventuels conflits d’intérêts? Cette finalité enrichissante (si elle est bien comprise), consacrera indépendamment de ses faiblesses l’ère de la mixité déontologique universelle à laquelle l’Afrique doit se préparer sans plus attendreOn the basis of the report that the application of the principles controlling the medical activity in French-speaking Black Africa raises important concerns, it seemed to us interesting to reflect to find answers adequate which will make it possible the ethical rules into force to be revealing of a context marked by aspect sociocultural which one cannot despize. In this step, it is by going up the history that we tried to understand how these African medical codes of ethics, primarily copied from the French model and how manage do were worked out to survive in an environment where the rise of a parallel medical deontology does not seem to meet any obstacle? Consequently, the question of the adaptation of these CDM to local specificities arose with acuity. However interrogations remain: Sometimes will the adaptation in response to the inadequacy of the various codes bring all the answers to the complexity of the situations in connection with the evolution of the contemporary societies? Isn't it likely to work for a programmed marginalisation of the medical deontology in Africa? From another point of view and parallel to the design and with the implementation of the awaited reforms, the prospect for an applicable universal medical deontology some are the place and adaptable to its environment, succeed in won't finding a compromise socially and medically acceptable where the respect of the Man will be placed above the possible conflicts interests? This enriching purpose (if it is well understood), will devote independently of its weaknesses the era of the universal ethical coeducation to which Africa must prepare without waiting more

Professional identity is important both to professionals and to the professions of which they are members. In addition to being crucial for professional success at an individual level, and for the maintenance of professional boundaries and autonomy at the collective level, professional identity is an important contributor to the career decisions of professionals including persistence in the profession and specialization choices. When professional identities within a profession differ systematically by sex, these identity-dependent decisions contribute to the sex-segregation of professions or their specialties. Research often implicates professional identity as contributing to the segregation and related gender inequalities documented in numerous professions. Efforts to address these gender inequalities must be informed by the gender dynamics of professional identity formation processes. Despite copious theory, the literature on professional identity formation suffers from being under-tested. In decades of research, there has been little conclusive evidence as to which socialization mechanisms contribute to professional identity formation or how these mechanisms may be gendered. This dissertation provides conclusive evidence for peer influence and gendered peer influence on professional identity formation in engineering. After surveying the literature on identity formation theories, my first study investigates a host of professional identity indicators to establish which aspects of professional identity are associated with gendered persistence in the engineering profession. I identify a role-specific efficacy-related measure as a potential source of gendered persistence in the profession.
(cont.) My second study conducts a causal test of peer influence on the development of the efficacy-related measure identified in the previous study. Using the quasi-experiment of roommate assignment, I address the methodological and analytical hurdles that have stymied previous research in this area. I find evidence that men are influenced by their male peers, and find no such influence among women. This result is replicated in a similarly-structured third study from a different professional setting. I conclude that men's informal professional socialization via peers serves a resource for professional identity formation that is not available to women. These studies provide the first conclusive evidence for the role of peers in professional identity formation, and how this peer influence mechanism is gendered.

Full textAbstract:
L'objet de cette these est de realiser dans une meme etude une analyse sociale des diplomes (magistrats, avocats, medecins, pharmaciens, architectes, ingenieurs, professeurs, journalistes) qui ont en commun le fait d'avoir utilise, a nantes, entre 1815 et 1848, leur profession pour gagner des positions de pouvoir, augmenter leurs ressources et s'integrer aux elites locales. Ces capacites, frustrees par l'encombrement de leur profession et par la limitation de leurs droits politiques, entendent demontrer leur utilite. La societe academique, structure essentielle de leur sociabilite, devient un instrument d'intervention dans l'espace public. L'industrialisation, l'assistance ou les questions educatives y sont discutees. Toute cette periode est marquee par une contestation permanente des positions dominantes des negociants au sein des commissions administratives. L'elargissement progressif des responsabilites du maire et du prefet dans la gestion locale fournit aux capacites de multiples occasions d'utiliser leurs competences professionnelles pour des taches d'expertise et leur permet d'ameliorer leur situation economique et d'obtenir une meilleure reconnaissance de leur profession. Dans le meme temps, les capacites recherchent les moyens de s'imposer politiquement, d'abord pendant la revolution de 1830, puis avec la reunion de l'ouest, une tentative d'organisation autonome qui echoue devant la montee des tensions sociales et la force d'attraction de la notabilite. A peine decouvert, le monde ouvrier devient l'enjeu des strategies de conquete du pouvoir. Aussi, a cote des engagements dans la philanthropie laique ou catholique, les fractions les plus actives des capacites s'affirment comme les porte-parole des revendications ouvrieres puis du suffrage universel. A la fin de la monarchie de juillet, les capacites occupent des positions importantes dans la vie administrative et politique de la cite, construisant des carrieres municipales, veritables voies d'integration et de renouveau des elites locales. Leur action nous montre ainsi que le modele meritocratique de la fin du siecle se construit au coeur de la monarchie censitaireThe purpose of this thesis is to undertake in the same study the social analysis of the university graduates (magistrates, lawyers, doctors, pharmacists, architects, engineers, teachers, journalists) who have in common the fact that, in nantes, between 1815 and 1848, they used their profession to gain positions of power, to increase their income and to integrate the local elites. These capacities, frustrated by the overcrowding of their profession and the limitation of their political rights, want to demonstrate their usefulness. The academic society, a structure vital of their sociability, becomes an instrument by which they intervene in the public sphere. Industrialization, assistance and educational questions are discussed there. The whole period is characterized by permanent questioning of the dominant positions of merchants inside the administrative commissions. The progressive widening of the responsabilities of the mayor and the prefect in local administration gives the capacities numerous opportunities to use their professional skills in tasks as experts and allows them to improve their economic situation and the recognition of their profession. At the same time, they look for ways to impose themselves politically, first during the 1830 revolution, then with the reunion de l'ouest, an attempt to form an autonomous organization which fails due to growing social tensions and to the force of attraction of the notability. As soon as it is discovered, the working-class becomes the objet of strategies to take power. Also, in addition to involvement in secular or catholic philanthropy, the more active fractions of the capacities come forward as representative of working-class demands and later of universal suffrage. At the end of the july monarchy, capacities hold important positions in the administrative and political life of the city, building municipal careers, true instruments of integration and renewal of local elites. Thus their action shows us that the meritocratic model of the end of the century is being constructed in the heart of last french monarchies

Full textAbstract:
While recent publications indicate that employees in human service professions have higher risk of sickness absence and mental ill-health, little is known about the association with other health outcomes and possible mechanisms behind the differential risk. This study investigates differences in burnout, self-rated health and sickness absence between those in human service professions and other professions and examines whether differences in psychosocial and organizational work environment can explain possible variations. Data were derived from the Swedish Longitudinal Occupational Survey of Health (SLOSH), an approximately representative sample of the Swedish working population (n=4486). Results from binary logistic regressions suggested that those in human service professions had higher odds of burnout and sickness absence those in other professions. Differences in burnout were explained by background variables while differences in sickness absence were explained by psychosocial and organizational work factors. Employees in human service professions had lower odds of suboptimal self-rated health than others in the fully adjusted model. Women were at higher risk of burnout, sickness absence, and all adverse psychosocial and organizational work environment factors except social support. Future studies should investigate the most crucial psychosocial and organizational work factors in human service professions with the objective to improve employee health.

Wood, Barbara. "Multi-disciplinary education within the health care professions." Thesis, University of Huddersfield, 2001. http://eprints.hud.ac.uk/id/eprint/5957/.
Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study was to investigate the perceptions held by health care professionals, of multi -disciplinary education. In addition, possible areas for the development of a multi-disciplinary approach were identified. The research focused on the views of nurses, physiotherapists, radiographers, speech therapists and occupational therapists. The study adopted a case study methodology, incorporating a mixed-method approach in terms of data collection. A questionnaire was used to review the perceptions of multi-disciplinary education amongst health care professionals, and interviews were then conducted with a sample of the respondents to explore their views further. From the outset, the research process assumed a multi-disciplinary perspective. During the study it became clear that organisational and professional factors were important influences on how health care professionals perceived multidisciplinary education. The research appeared to indicate that the idea of "multidisciplinary education" is a problematic concept and that multi-disciplinary education is acceptable, where it is appropriate. Most of the professions involved recognised the benefits of the process, but were anxious to protect the integrity of each individual profession, in the long term. Moreover, they maintained that the medical profession needs to be included in the process. The organisational findings were, primarily, that multi-disciplinary education might benefit from a cross-agency approach. Perhaps significantly, it was suggested that multi-disciplinary education should be introduced at the pre-registration stage. It was apparent that teamwork does not always occur in practice and that this was an area that could be a focus for multidisciplinary education. The research concluded that there should be joint ownership of any multi-disciplinary education programme across professions and organisations.

Full textAbstract:
The object of the research was to develop an understanding of how UK construction professionals achieve exemplary quality in the services they offer. The aspirations and outlook of purchasers and providers of services were discussed, recorded, examined and compared. The initial hypothesis was "that practices with a "culture" of quality are more likely to produce excellent quality in the eyes of the purchaser, and thus be regarded as an exemplary firm, than those that rely upon rules and procedures, with or without quality assurance." A methodology was developed which aimed to establish and analyse: i) What is "exemplary quality of service" in the eyes of a professional client? ii) How do the firms identified as providing such an exemplary service achieve this level of service delivery? iii) As a dynamic perspective on ii), how do the firms manage, and benefit from their experience of handling, unforeseen changes or errors? Three purchasers of services were selected and interviewed. They were each asked to nominate the two firms which they believed offered the most exemplary levels of service quality. These firms were interviewed, and two of their projects were monitored over a period of six months. All interviews followed a predetermined structure which included key questions, whilst also allowing free expression of any views which the interviewee deemed relevant. The thesis analyses the considerable amount of data which was gathered, and concludes that the most powerful motivational drive in the firms studied was the desire to be "best in class" They did not regard meeting the client's expectations as the final measure of exemplary quality.

Ils répondent aux attentes des employeurs soucieux de l'efficacité de la couverture des territoires de leurs interventions et aux besoins des populations de plus en plus informées et exigeantes. Des professionnels aux statuts, aux qualifications et aux compétences différentes coexistent au sein d'un même établissement. Bien qu'hétérogènes, leurs activités se chevauchent et quelquefois similaires. Des missions initialement prévues pour des professionnels d'un niveau donné par d'autres dont le niveau de qualification est inférieur. D'où un sentiment de non reconnaissance des plus qualifiés et une recomposition de tous ceux inscrits dans le secteur socialThe socioeconomic evolutions and the administrative organisations are forcing a mass recruitment of social workers to give, to help and to back the people in a situation of rejection and social exclusion. Two way of recruiting (one founded on skills and the other on qualifications) live side by side. They answer the expectations of the employers who are looking for efficiency, a way to cover whole areas and they also answer the needs of population who are more and more informed and demanding. Thus, professionals with different status, qualifications and skills work side by side in the same structure. Al though they are heterogeneous, their activities overlap and sometimes similar. That is how missions initially, planned for a given level are conducted in an indifferentiated way by professionals of a lower level. All this engenders a feeling of non recognition among the more qualified and a recomposition off all the workers registered in the social sector

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the historical, social, political and economic influences on the politics of Australian homebirth, specifically the processes whereby the state enables or restricts independent midwifery practice.
By using documentary sources of letters, official correspondence, literature reviews, interviews with key stakeholders and case studies the thesis provides an historical overview and interpretative critique of the cultural, political and bureaucratic processes surrounding the provision of midwife-managed homebirth services. It shows how authoritative knowledge about birthing is created, promulgated and challenged, highlighting the nexus between authoritative knowledge and the distribution of medical power. The Commonwealth’s Alternative Birthing Services Program is used as a case study to illustrate how the medical discourses of 'risk' and 'safety' legitimate medical power and practice as well as the relative lack of power of midwives. Just as importantly, the thesis demonstrates how birth activists overcame the obstacles placed in their paths and in doing so used the Alternative Birthing Services Program to create new models of woman-centred birthing.
This thesis argues that an important objective for both bureaucrats and the midwifery profession is to continue to challenge and indeed change entrenched patriarchal, state-supported medical practices. Only then will homebirths be regarded not as an alternative but one of a range of core, mainstream birthing options.

Full textAbstract:
Bien que la littérature comptable fasse largement référence aux construits d'évaluation sociale dans leur ensemble, elle est restée principalement axée sur l'examen de la production (e.g. Andon et al., 2014 ; Çakmaklı et al., 2020 ; Courtois & Gendron, 2020 ; Kirkham & Loft, 1993 ; Michelon et al., 2019 ; O'Dwyer et al., 2011 ; Power, 2003b ; Robson et al., 2007) et le maintien (e.g. Carnegie & O'Connell, 2012 ; Dermarkar & Hazgui, 2022 ; Durocher et al., 2016 ; Harrington, 2019 ; Mitchell et al., 1994 ; Robson et al., 1994 ; Whittle et al., 2014a) de la légitimité. Bien qu'important, se concentrer sur la légitimité de la profession ne permet que partiellement de comprendre comment la comptabilité peut être définie et perçue comme une profession qui jouit des privilèges dont elle bénéficie par rapport à d'autres professions. De plus, là où les études comptables font allusion à d'autres évaluations sociales, telles que la réputation et le statut, elles sont souvent traitées comme des caractéristiques auxiliaires de la légitimité, mentionnées en passant, et restent souvent indéfinies ou sous-développées. De même, et peut-être parce que les professions sont le plus souvent associées à des évaluations sociales positives (c'est-à-dire la légitimité, le statut et la réputation), la stigmatisation a tendance à être négligée dans la littérature comptable. Cette thèse cherche à aborder ces questions en synthétisant d'abord la littérature par le biais d'une revue systématique ainsi qu'en développant davantage les connaissances relatives aux constructions de la stigmatisation et du statut à travers deux essais empiriques. Par exemple, et en ce qui concerne la stigmatisation, notre compréhension de la façon dont les professionnels comptables font face à la stigmatisation semble confinée aux individus stigmatisés sur le lieu de travail (Stenger & Roulet, 2018) et aux réponses institutionnelles aux scandales d'entreprise (Neu & Wright, 1992). Cette thèse examine un contexte dans lequel les professionnels comptables fournissent des services aux entreprises souffrant de stigmatisation fondamentale (Hudson, 2008 ; Hudson et Okhuysen, 2009), mettant ainsi en lumière la façon dont la profession fait face aux risques de stigmatisation de manière plus persistante. De même, alors qu'il existe un nombre croissant de travaux qui illustrent comment le statut d'élite est atteint et perpétué parmi les membres de la profession, en particulier dans les grands cabinets de services professionnels, l'attention a principalement été portée sur les processus de socialisation qui se déroulent au sein de ces organisations, après que les membres ont déjà été intronisé (p. ex. Anderson-Gough et al., 2000a; Carter et Spence, 2014a). Cette thèse se concentre plutôt sur les processus de socialisation qui se déroulent plus tôt dans la vie (c'est-à-dire à la maison et à l'école) afin d'expliquer plus en détail les moyens par lesquels les individus se frayent un chemin dans les organisations professionnelles d'élite et, de fait, s'intègrent dans les cercles sociaux de haut niveau. Dans l'ensemble, cette thèse apporte des contributions théoriques en traitant la légitimité, le statut, la réputation et la stigmatisation comme des constructions autonomes et en fournissant à l'érudition une base pour mieux comprendre comment la comptabilité parvient à maintenir le professionnalisme aux yeux d'un public social critique. En considérant le professionnalisme, c'est-à-dire les caractéristiques qui distinguent une profession des autres professions, à travers ces construits d'évaluation sociale, cette thèse approfondit notre compréhension de la capacité de la profession comptable à "convaincre" de son expertise, à justifier de son autonomie, de son autorité sur les autres, et de son altruisme présumé (Anteby et al., 2016)Though the accounting literature makes ample reference to social evaluation constructs overall, it has remained principally focused on examining the production (e.g. Andon et al., 2014; Çakmaklı et al., 2020; Courtois & Gendron, 2020; Kirkham & Loft, 1993; Michelon et al., 2019; O'Dwyer et al., 2011; Power, 2003b; Robson et al., 2007) and maintenance (e.g. Carnegie & O'Connell, 2012; Dermarkar & Hazgui, 2022; Durocher et al., 2016; Harrington, 2019; Mitchell et al., 1994; Robson et al., 1994; Whittle et al., 2014a) of legitimacy. While important, focusing on the profession's legitimacy only partially fulfills a comprehensive understanding of how accountancy can be defined and perceived as a profession that enjoys the privileges that it does relative to other occupations. Further, where accountancy studies do allude to other social evaluations, such as reputation and status, they are often treated as ancillary features of legitimacy, mentioned in passing, and often remain undefined or under-developed. Similarly, and perhaps because professions are most often associated with positive social evaluations (i.e. legitimacy, status, and reputation), stigma has tended to be neglected in the accountancy literature. This dissertation seeks to address these issues by first synthesizing the literature through a systematic review as well as by further developing knowledge relating to the constructs of stigma and status through two empirical essays. For instance, and with regards to stigma, our understanding of how professional accountants contend with stigma seems confined to stigmatized individuals in the workplace (Stenger & Roulet, 2018) and institutional responses to corporate scandals (Neu & Wright, 1992). This dissertation examines a context in which accounting professionals provide services to firms suffering from core-stigma (Hudson, 2008; Hudson & Okhuysen, 2009), thus shedding light on how the profession contends with the risks of stigma on a more persistent basis. Similarly, while there is a growing body of work that illustrates how elite status is attained and perpetuated among members of the profession, particularly in large professional services firms, attention has primarily been paid to socialization processes that unfold within these organizations, after members have already been inducted (e.g. Anderson-Gough et al., 2000a; Carter & Spence, 2014a). This dissertation focuses instead on the socialization processes that unfold earlier in life (i.e. in the home and in schooling) in order to further explicate the means by which individuals make their way into elite professional organizations and, indeed, integrate into high status social circles. Overall, this dissertation makes theoretical contributions by treating legitimacy, status, reputation and stigma as stand-alone constructs and providing scholarship a basis for better understanding how accountancy manages to uphold professionalism in the eyes of critical social audiences. By viewing professionalism, that is features that distinguish professions from other occupations, through these social evaluation constructs, this dissertation furthers our understanding of how accountancy is able “to convince audiences” of its expertise, its justification for autonomy, its authority over others, and its presumed altruism (Anteby et al., 2016)

Green, Robert Anthony. "Effecting Organizational Change at the Macro Level of Professions." Thesis, Mississippi State University, 2017. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=10640074.
Full textAbstract:
Much has been written in academic and popular publications about organizational change. Topics have ranged from case studies to anecdotal stories of how leaders can change an organization. There is little written on changing the culture and vision of a profession at the macro level.
This dissertation shows that one key to effecting change within a profession is to educate those at the entrant level and thereby effect change with the profession. Over time, these new entrants to the profession will rise to senior positions and be able to effect greater change through the hiring, training, and mentoring processes inherent in the professions and the organizations for which they work. One way to effect change in these entrants is through education in college and professional schools. This study is specifically focused on effecting change in the interdisciplinary field of engineering and public policy. Public policy involves countless infrastructure issues at all levels of government. Engineers are well-versed in dealing with the technical issues of infrastructure but their voice is often lacking at the policy level. Similarly, political scientists are well-versed in policy but are often lacking in a thorough understanding of the technical aspects of the policy.
Through an introductory course in engineering and public policy, undergraduate students from the seemingly disparate fields of engineering and political science were placed in a common classroom and through lectures, writings, presentations, and guided discussions their attitudes on key areas were changed. Areas studied were professional interest, legitimacy, deference, the public policy process, and education outside of a specific field. Through the process of education, changes in each of these areas was possible. Further, the movement was towards making students in each discipline more open to the input, opinions, and attitudes of others, and specifically in shifting engineers toward a more positive view of the public policy process. Being exposed to these topics and to each other’s thought processes, changes in professional attitudes were made.
While there is not a specific profession for which any research has been done, the military is used, in places, as an analog to the profession of engineering.

Full textAbstract:
To date there has been little exploratory research about the experience of trainee clinical psychologists. What is not known from the literature is how trainee clinical psychologists perceive reflective practice within clinical training and how the process of being a ‘novice’ alongside the increased introspection of reflective practice feels in terms of self-concept. The first chapter of the thesis reviews the relevant literature investigating the use of reflective practice within mental health settings. The review indicates that although reflective practice might offer some valuable contributions to working in these settings there are often difficulties with ongoing implementation. A number of methodological limitations of the studies are discussed and the implications of reflective practice for professional practice are considered. Chapter two presents an empirical study that explores trainee clinical psychologists’ experiences of reflective practice within the setting of clinical training, using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis. A preliminary model of reflective activity within clinical psychology training is proposed, indicating that self-reflection lies at the heart of reflective practice. Implications for clinical training, psychologist self-care and future research are discussed.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation investigates Woolf’s engagement with the professions and their values, tracing their influence on both the form and content of her work. It explores Woolf’s relationship with what she called, in the typescript of Between the Acts (1941), “[t]he rise of the professional class” in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries in Britain. I argue that a concern with the professions underlay three of her works, The Years (1937), Three Guineas (1938), and Between the Acts (1941). I also investigate the importance to Woolf of two specific professions the medical profession, and what she called “the profession of literature.” Chapter one focuses on The Years and Three Guineas, and makes use of manuscript versions of The Years to show that Woolf’s ambivalent feelings towards women’s entry into the professions not only informed her political views in Three Guineas, but also shaped her aesthetic decisions throughout the extensive rewriting process of The Years. The chapter argues that the vision which underlies The Years is possibly even more sweeping and radical than the solutions proposed in Three Guineas, and shows how Woolf’s views of the professional system became the basis for her vision of freedom in a new type of society. Chapter two investigates the representation of doctors’ power in Mrs Dalloway (1925), asking how and why Woolf questioned the validity and source of such power, and why this was so important to Woolf. Chapter three considers Woolf’s concept of “the profession of literature.” Woolf often praised the unprofessional qualities of the writing profession, such as its lack of objective professional qualifications and entrance requirements. These made it one of the most accessible professions for women, but also made financial success ambiguous. Chapter four analyzes the forces which shaped Between the Acts (1941) by exploring the historical background of the 1930s. It shows how the novel engages with the themes of specialization, money and war.

Full textAbstract:
The comic rogue is a particularly memorable character type in English drama. A familiar figure in the works of Shakespeare, Jonson and their contemporaries he has retained his popularity until the present day. This thesis attempts to offer some account of the rogue's appeal by examining a select number of comedies from the Jacobean period to the early eighteenth century. The rogue's cultural and literary background is discussed in chapter one, with particular emphasis upon the traditions established in Elizabethan rogue pamphlets. Subsequent chapters deal with rogues who pursue a wide variety of knavish professions: Shakespeare's opportunistic peddlar, Autolycus; Jonson's alchemists; Middleton's merchant/swindler, Quomodo; Quicksilver, the roguish apprentice of Eastward Ho!; and rustic vagabonds in plays by Fletcher, Brome, and Shirley. Later chapters consider the decline of roguery after the Restoration and notable revivals of the tradition in Farquhar's late comedies and in John Gay's The Beggar's Opera. Two important aspects of the rogue's characterization which consistently emerge are his ambiguity and his inherently theatrical nature. He is an attractive but deplorable knave; his crimes deserve punishment but his skills as an entertainer invite applause. Such paradoxes are a fundamental part of the comic experience. The rogue's mutability as actor, artist, imposter, and thief opens up multiple possibilities for the creation of mirthful and provocative comedy.

Full textAbstract:
There has been a lack of training and implementation of cultural humility in the helping professions. Clinician’s awareness of their own biases, assumptions, and cultural identities is critical when working with individuals who each have their own array of cultural identities. The following research examined the efficacy of cultural humility art-based training courses through surveys and examining the art experiential activity that was provided. The purpose of this research was to determine whether cultural humility art-based training would effectively increase mental health practitioners’ comfort, ability, and confidence in addressing culturally sensitive issues in their clinical work. The training focused on introducing the tenets of cultural humility with art directives to help participants reflect on their cultural identity. 47 Participants completed surveys that were analyzed in addition to their art in order to gain qualitative data. The data suggests that cultural humility art-based training effectively increased participant’s comfort, ability, and confidence in practicing cultural humility in their work with clients/patients and colleagues. More training and research are needed to generalize findings and determine their longevity.

Full textAbstract:
Försvarsmakten är en av Sveriges största myndigheter och ungefär en tredjedel av alla medarbetare är civila. Myndigheten har som strategisk inriktning att tillväxa och andelen civila chefer ökar. Denna studie utforskar dynamiken, förutsättningar och friktioner för samverkan, mellan militära och civila chefer inom den militära professionen, för att skapa en djupare förståelse för deras påverkan på den operativa effekten. Många civila chefer jobbar med att stödja och effektivisera arbetet i myndigheten och har samma befogenheter som militära chefer när det kommer till verksamhetsledning. I en friktionsfri miljö fungerar samverkan mellan civila och militära chefer, och synergieffekterna gynnar organisationen. Trots ett kollegialt förhållningssätt har civila och militära chefer olika utgångspunkter för sina normer och värderingar. Vid en beredskapshöjning ökar kraven på personalen i Försvarsmakten, och den civila personalen övergår till militär personal. De civila cheferna har då lagligt stöd att fatta beslut om våldsanvändning, även om det kan vara direkt olämpligt. Förutsättningarna mellan civila och militära chefer blir då mer och mer diffusa och är därav inte längre lika tydliga. Försvarsmaktens befattningsstruktur och mandatförhållanden behöver ses över. Det måste finnas förutsättningar för uppdragstaktik, och fördelningen mellan kärnverksamhet och stödjande verksamhet behöver utredas. De civila cheferna måste ges möjlighet att förstå den militära kontexten och spänningarna mellan professionerna inom den militära professionen måste omhändertas. Kärnan av studien är en empirisk kartläggning som inhämtats genom intervjuer och är en kvalitativ studie med en induktiv ansats där analysen är inspirerad av Grounded Theory.The Swedish Armed Forces is one of Sweden's largest government agencies. Approximately one third of all employees are civilians and its strategic focus is currently to grow and the proportion of civilian managers is increasing. This study explores the dynamics, conditions and frictions for collaboration, between military and civilian leadership within the military profession, in order to create a deeper understanding of their impact on operational outcome. One of the main duties for civilian managers is to support and increase the efficiency of the work for the Swedish Armed Forces. When it comes to operational management civilians have the same authority as the officers in a frictionless environment. The organization benefits of the collaboration between civilian and military leadership, when the operational is running smoothly. Despite a collegial approach, civilian and military managers have different point of views regarding their norms and values. At a contingency escalation, the demands on the personnel in the Swedish Armed Forces elevate. The civilian personnel will switch to military personnel and the civil managers then have legal support to make decisions about the use of force, although this may be directly inappropriate. The basic presumptions between civilian and military leadership are becoming more diffuse and less clear. The staff structure and mandate conditions need to be reviewed. There must be prerequisites for mission-type tactics, and the distribution between core and support activities needs to be investigated. The civilian managers must be given the opportunity to understand the military context and the tensions between the professions in the military profession must be dealt with. The core of this thesis is an empirical mapping of data, which were obtained through interviews. The study is based on a qualitative research method with an inductive approach where the final analysis is inspired by Grounded Theory.

Full textAbstract:
Depuis quelques années, le phénomène réseau a pris un essor considérable. Il n’a pas omis de toucher les professions libérales. Face à la complexification des demandes et à la spécialisation des champs professionnels, le réseau est apparu aux praticiens libéraux comme un moyen efficace de répondre aux attentes de leurs clients ainsi qu’à leurs propres souhaits de nature professionnel et économique. Le réseau a permis de remplir l’objectif d’interdisciplinarité désiré en proposant aux professionnels un nouveau moyen d’exercice en groupe et en commun et en offrant aux clients une prise en charge globale de leurs intérêts. Il a cependant posé le problème de la déontologie applicable à l’exercice dispensé, notamment lorsqu’il revêt une dimension interprofessionnelle. Le droit a alors dû l’appréhender. Mais le législateur n’est venu régir cette entité que de manière parcellaire et ne lui a pas conféré un véritable statut. Ce n’est pas pour autant qu’il ne peut pas bénéficier d’une existence juridique autonome. Au regard de son importance dans la pratique libérale et sur la modification de l’exercice professionnel qu’il modernise, le réseau s’analyse comme une structure distincte de la personne de ceux qui la constitue. Sa détermination comme membre et acteur de la profession libérale permettent de retenir la valeur économique et professionnelle qu’il engendreFor several years now, the networking has significantly expended. The liberal professions are highly concerned by this phenomenon. Due to the complexification of the clients requests and the specialization of the professional areas, the network appeared to be an efficient way to meet both the practitioners economical and professional expectations and the ones of their clients. The network allows to reach the objective of multidisciplinarity by allowing the practitioners to practice their activity as part of a group and by offering to the clients a global approach of their needs. Nevertheless, the network of professions raises the issue of the ethics regarding the profession, especially when it takes the form of an interprofessional network. Hence, the legislator had to define a legal frame for the network. But instead of creating a thorough legal status, the legislator had only dealt with some aspects of the subject. However, this state of the law doesn’t imply the impossibility for the network to have a legal existence per se. Considering it is increasingly used by the liberal profession and the fact that it has allowed a modernization of the professions, the network of professions has to be analyzed like an independent structure from the people who compose it. Qualifying the network of professions as a member and as an actor of the liberal profession enhances the economical and professional extra value that it generates

Rowley, Andrew S. "Professions, class and society: solicitors in 19th century Birmingham." Thesis, Aston University, 1988. http://publications.aston.ac.uk/12184/.
Full textAbstract:
The thesis provides an analysis of an occupation in the process of making itself a profession. The solicitors' profession in Birmingham underwent a great many changes during the 19th century against a background of industrialisation and urbanisation. The solicitors' conception of their status and role, in the face of these challenges, had implications for successful strategies of professionalisation. The increased prestige and power of the profession, and especially its elite, are examined in their social context rather than in terms of a technical process, or educational and organisational change. The thesis argues that -the profession's social relationships and broad concerns were significant in establishing solicitors as "professional men". In particular these are related to the profession's efforts to gain control of markets for legal services and increase social status. In the course of achieving these aims a concept of profession and a self-image were articulated by solicitors in order to persuade society and the state of the legitimacy of their claims. The concept of the gentlemanly professional was of critical importance in this instance. The successful creation of a provincial professional "community" by the end of the 19th century rested principally on a social and moral conception of professionalism rather than one which stressed specialised training and knowledge, professional organisations and credentials.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse développe le concept de modèle professionnel et l'applique à l'étude de l'évolution de la profession comptable en France et au Royaume-Uni. A la croisée de la sociologie néo-wéberienne des professions, de la sociologie bourdeusienne de la domination et de la sociologie néo-institutionnaliste des organisations, l'utilisation du concept de modèle professionnel permet de montrer comment le projet professionnel des comptables britanniques a été capable de secréter un modèle de la pratique libéérale caractérisé par l'organisation d'une accumulation importante de capital économique et social, tandis que le projet des comptables français, marqué par sa proximité à l'Etat, promouvait l'exercice individuel de la profession comme modèle d'excellence. La mondialisation économique et financière voit l'avénement du "modèle du Big", c'est-à-dire du cabinet multinational héritier du modèle du grand cabinet anglo-saxon. La thèse examine les conséquences de cet avénement sous l'angle des effets produits sur la communauté professionnelle au Royaume-Uni et en France. Dans un cas comme dans l'autre, des transformations importantes ont été nécessaires pour rendre compatible la coexistence dans la même communauté professionnelle des différents modèles de la pratiqueThis thesis elaborates the concept of professional model and uses it to study the evolution of the accountancy profession in France and in the United Kingdom. Borrowing from the neo-weberian tradition in the study of professions, from Pierre Bourdieu's sociology of domination and from neo-institutionalist approaches to organisations, the concept of professional model helps to explain how British accountants' professional project was able to generate a model of practice characterised by the accumulation of economic and social capital in important quantities, while French professionals, whose project developped in the proximity of the State, abode by a model placing individual practice at the apex of excellency in accounting and auditing. In the last thirty years, economic and financial globalisation has resulted in the advent of the "Big firm" model, that is to say the multinational inheritor of the model of the large Anglo-American firm. The thesis examines this advent through the lens of its consequences for the governance of the professional community in France and the United Kingdom. In both cases, substantial transformations have been needed to accommodate ever more distant models of practice within the professional community

Full textAbstract:
This thesis studies the emergence of two crafts and argues that the ways in which a craft develops into a well defined discipline with rules, principles and techniques that underpins its practice, is dependent upon an underlying quest to master it and to become a master craftsman. It will show how mastery had several different modes but also that the repertoire of techniques that forms it has the capacity to cross both historical and disciplinary boundaries. It does so by examining two disciplines, architecture and mountaineering, and the way in which they emerged as professional practices during the sixteenth and the nineteenth centuries and also how they individually attempted to master the craft of building and the craft of climbing, respectively. The two disciplines each tell a (hi)story of anempts to master the craftsman's activity and the space within which the activity takes place but, here, the two are conjoined, not only as a metaphorical comparison but also materially through stone. Much of the content of this thesis has arisen from seeing one discipline through the eyes of another, and through weaving their (hi)stories together into one. The different modes of mastery grappled with in separate chapters represent !he ways in which the disciplines were theorised, practiced, graphically and verbally described, imagined and finally how they made use of aesthetic sensibilities, with each mode of mastery being derived from an attempt to solve spatial problems. In order to trace the identification of skills and techniques within the two disciplines, the texts investigated focus predominantly upon those books that could be defined as instruction manuals in addition to many of those that were written in the immediate lead up to the idea that practical instruction could be written. Thus the material e.xamined stems both from narrative as well as instructional texts. Through examining these different modes of mastery, a close relationship between architecture and mountaineering, and between two different centuries, is mapped out. The texts investigated include those by Antonio di Pietro Averlino (Filarete), Sebastiana Serlio, Philiben Delorme, John Ruskin, John Ball, Alfred Wills, Frederick Burlingham, Clinton Dent, George Abraham, Geoffrey Young and Kun Diemberger.

This qualitative grounded theory study sought to identify what motivates women to stay in or return to science, technology, engineering, and math professions (STEM) long-term, leading to a motivation model. Twenty women, each having a minimum of 10 years of experience in STEM professions, participated in the study. Four of the 20 participants had a career path where they left the STEM workplace for more than 26 weeks and then returned. The results of this study suggested that there may be five themes related to motivating factors for women who stay in STEM professions long term: a) interest in STEM is the constant as individual needs and priorities change, b) direct manager influence on development is critical c) performance-based workplace policies and culture are continuously sought, d) moving towards a no-bias workplace remains important, and e) the career growth path at life's crossroads remains a challenge. While this study's results suggested that some bias does still exist in the STEM workplace, as previously documented. The results suggested that an equitable workplace does not yet exist regarding career growth opportunities. As career growth is one of the motivating factors for women in STEM and environments for career growth opportunities vary in the workplace, this study's results also suggested that career growth opportunities continue to be a barrier for women in STEM.

Full textAbstract:
Avocats, notaires et huissiers de justices ont-ils les moyens structurels de se regrouper tout en maintenant leurs spécificités ?Tel est l'enjeu d'une certaine réflexion sur les différents modes de regroupement de professions juridiques. Car ces professionnels ont des fonctions différentes mais complémentaires et des statuts certainement compatibles au vu de leur dénominateur commun qui est la réglementation de leurs professions. Le cœur de leurs métiers réside pour chacun dans le respect de règles strictes - notamment d'une déontologie - et le service aux clients.Les structures classiques que sont les groupements de personnes comme l'association, la société civile de moyens, ou le groupement d'intérêt économique, peuvent correspondre à un premier objectif de mise en commun de moyens, mais de véritables sociétés de capitaux ont été mises à la disposition des professions juridiques pour favoriser leur croissance, par la création des sociétés d'exercice libéral en 1990, puis de véritables sociétés holding que sont les sociétés de participation financière de professions libérales en 2001, et enfin de sociétés pluriprofessionnelles d'exercice en 2015.L'évolution législative en la matière a été longue et finalement hésitante tant le rôle des professions juridiques est loin du commerce.Le législateur s'est attaché depuis 1990 à préserver l'indépendance des professionnels du droit, mais peu à peu, les verrous nécessaires ont lâché pour laisser place aujourd'hui à une ouverture financière et d'exercice qui paraît inadaptée au respect de l'essence-même de ces professions.La volonté récurrente de constituer une "grande profession du droit" ou une profession unifiée n'a pas abouti, mais les outils viennent d'être donnés sans "mode d'emploi" pour parvenir insidieusement à ce que la finance encourage la naissance d'une profession unique sous couvert d'un regroupement nécessaire à la survie des structures. L'interprofessionnalité est en marche, mais à quel prix ?Have lawyers solicitors and bailiffs the structural ways to group together while maintaining their specificities?Such is the stake in a certain reflection on the various modes of regroupement of law occupations. Because these professionals have different but complementary functions and certainly compatible statutes in view of their common denominator which is the regulations of their occupations. The heart of their jobs lives for each in the respect for strict rules - in particular of a business ethics - and the service to the customers.The classic structures that are the groupings of people as the association, the civil society of ways, or the economic interest group, can correspond to a first objective of pooling of ways, but real societies of capital were put at the disposal of law occupations to favor their growth, by the creation of the societies of liberal exercise in 1990, then the real holding companies that are the societies of financial participation of liberal professions in 2001, and finally pluriprofessionnelles societies of exercise in 2015.The legislative evolution on the subject was long and finally hesitating so much the role of law occupations is far from trade. The legislator attempted since 1990 to protect the independence of the professionals of the right, but little by little, the necessary bolts broke to give way to a financial opening and of exercise today which seems unsuitable for the respect for the gasoline of these occupations.The recurring will to constitute a " big profession of the law " or a unified profession did not succeed, but tools have just been given without "instructions for use" to reach insidiously that the finance encourages the birth of a unique profession on behalf of a grouping necessary for the survival of the structures. The interprofessionalism is underway, but at what price ?

Sahin-Dikmen, Melahat. "A Bourdieusian lens onto professions : a case study of architecture." Thesis, University of York, 2013. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/5616/.
Full textAbstract:
This study explores the potential of Bourdieu’s sociology for re-orienting the sociology of professions. Despite differences in methodology and theoretical priorities, neither classical theories nor the contemporary studies completely break with the view that professions are autonomous and elite occupational groups driven by the common objective of achieving monopoly over given service markets. This unifying and externally oppositional view does not provide an adequate framework for understanding the internal dynamics or the embeddedness of professional areas of practice within the social world. This study argues that Bourdieu’s sociology could help address some of these difficulties by enabling us to re-define professions as historically constituted, semi-autonomous fields structured around struggles over specific capitals that are instrumental both in their specific production and in internal struggles over authority and power. An examination of architecture as a case study suggests that the architectural profession can be thought of as a field driven by the ideals of design originality and a field ridden with permanent conflicts between its autonomous ideals and external demands, between creative and symbolic capital on the one hand and technical-managerial capital on the other, and between the competing narratives of its realities. The architectural field is divided and its dominant representation is contested, but architects are also united by their shared experiences and belief in architectural ideals. The study gives us an insight into the architectural universe and suggests that a field approach yields an understanding of its complexities not permitted by the notion of profession. However, as an exploratory investigation based on in-depth interviews, this is a first step in instigating a field mode of thinking on professions and needs to be supplemented with further research on architecture and the applications of the field concept to other professions.

Zelikman, Jessica L. "Self-compassion training for graduate students in the helping professions." Thesis, Saint Mary's University of Minnesota, 2015. http://pqdtopen.proquest.com/#viewpdf?dispub=3739826.
Full textAbstract:
This study explored the benefits of providing 8 weeks of self-compassion training to graduate students working in helping professions. The single-participant multiple baseline across individuals design included two measures, the Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) and the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Sixteen volunteer graduate students were asked to fill out online measures 2 weeks prior to the intervention, weekly throughout the 8-week trainings, and again at 1 week and 1 month after the conclusion of the intervention. Participants were also asked to complete a one-time background questionnaire to extract personal demographic and current stress-related information utilizing the Holmes and Rae scale. The results suggested a functional relationship between the teaching of self-compassion and the decrease in perceived stress of the participants. These effects continued to show marked decreases, especially in the last half of SCI training, and remained below baseline levels during follow-up. Self-Compassion Scale scores improved after the initial training. The results of this study suggest that participants who are taught self-compassion can experience decreased stress and increased well-being. Training in self-compassion shows promise as a technique for helping graduate students who are experiencing high levels of stress.

Scala-Riondet, Nathalie. "Des formations aux professions dans un secteur artisanal : la boulangerie." Paris 8, 2006. http://www.theses.fr/2006PA082687.
Full textAbstract:
Malgré la diminution du nombre de boulangeries artisanales, résultat de l’industrialisation du secteur, la boulangerie artisanale reste encore l’activité dominante. Ce maintien paradoxal résulte de l’aide de groupes industriels de meunerie à l’origine de marques de farines et d’enseignes commerciales, et de la création de nouvelles formations au métier qui intègrent des personnes en reconversion compensant le manque de mains d’œuvre et de repreneurs traditionnels – ceci, dans un contexte français de valorisation de l’artisanat comme créateur d’emploi et garantie de qualité. L’étude monographique de la boulangerie, à Rouen, principal siège de la formation à la boulangerie, et à Marseille, d’où est parti le premier réseau d’enseignes meunières, permet de mieux comprendre les divisions actuelles du monde de la boulangerie en France, les caractéristiques des boulangers, leurs manières d’exercer cette activité, en couple ou non, et les répercussions de cette activité sur leur vie familialeIn spite of the reduction in the number of artisanal bakeries, result of the industrialization of the sector, artisanal bakery remains still the dominant activity. This paradoxical maintenance results from the assistance of industrial groups of flour-milling at the origin of marks from flours and commercial signs, and creation of new formations to the trade which integrate people in reconversion compensating for the lack of labour and transferees traditional - this, in a French context of valorisation of the craft industry as creator of use and guarantee of quality. The monographic study of bakery, in Rouen, principal seat of the formation to bakery, and Marseilles, from where the first network left signs millers, makes it possible to better include/understand current divisions of the world of bakery in France, the characteristics of the bakers, their manners of carrying on this activity, couples some or not, and the repercussions of this activity over their family life

Full textAbstract:
L'exercice d'une profession libérale est fait de décisions de gestion, notamment en matière immobilière, qui peuvent avoir des conséquences fiscales catastrophiques à long terme si elles sont inopportunes. Au regard du droit fiscal, une personne physique qui exerce une profession libérale est titulaire d'un patrimoine professionnel et d'un patrimoine prive. Si elle est propriétaire du local où elle exerce sa profession, elle est libre de choisir de l'affecter à l'un ou l'autre de ses patrimoines. Lorsqu'elle décide de transférer son local de son patrimoine professionnel à son patrimoine privé, elle est soumise au régime des plus-values professionnelles, qui se révèle d'autant plus pénalisant que le transfert est plus tardif. Si elle est locataire, elle a intérêt à détenir le local où elle exerce sa profession par l'intermédiaire d'une société dont elle conservera le contrôle, qui peut être soit une société civile immobilière ( S. C. I. ), soit une société commerciale non soumise à l'impôt sur les sociétés, telle qu'une S. A. R. L. De famille ou une E. U. R. L. Les S. C. I. Ont vocation à donner des locaux en location nue, qui relève du régime fiscal des revenus fonciers, alors que les sociétés commerciales non soumises à l'impôt sur les sociétés relèvent en principe du régime fiscal des bénéfices industriels et commerciaux, qui se révèle souvent plus avantageux. Enfin, au moment du départ en retraite, dans l'hypothèse d'une donation du local professionnel a un enfant, il vaut mieux donner des parts d'une société à prépondérance immobilière que le local lui-même.

Morton, Lori Barker. "Somatoform Disorder: Treatment Utilization and Cost by Mental Health Professions." BYU ScholarsArchive, 2011. https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/2945.
Full textAbstract:
Somatoform disorder is a prevalent mental health disorder in the United States. This disorder costs the United States one billion dollars annually. Medical providers report somatoform disorder is difficult to treat. Previous studies have shown that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is effective at reducing symptoms of somatoform disorder. Unfortunately, little research has been done on treatment outcomes and cost of somatoform disorder, particularly by profession to reduce health care costs for somatoform patients and providers. Administrative data from CIGNA for 149 somatoform disorder cases were analyzed to determine the cost, number of sessions, dropout rates, and recidivism rates for somatoform disorder. These same variables for somatoform disorder were also analyzed by profession for medical doctors, psychologists, master's nurses, master's social workers, marriage and family therapists, and professional counselors. Descriptive statistics showed that the recidivism rates and number of sessions for somatoform disorder is higher than average. Drop-out rates were consistent with the average. Analyses revealed no significant difference in total cost by profession, but did indicate a significant difference in cost per session for medical doctors. Analyses indicate lower level (M.S.) providers have no significant difference in drop-out rates and recidivism rates compared to higher level (Ph.D.) providers.
