Definición

  • Professional work is a label used by social scientists and the general public. It encompasses those whose work (1) is defined by the application of theoretical and scientific knowledge to tasks tied to core societal values (e.g., health, justice, and financial status); (2) commands considerable autonomy and freedom from oversight, except from peers in the same profession; and (3) claims to have exclusive or nearly exclusive control over a task domain linked to the application of the knowledge imparted to professionals as part of their training, according to Kevin Leicht and Mary Fennell.
