Changes in Personal Perceptions of a Profession during the Process of Individual Professionalization: a Sociological Analysis

Abstract

This study examines the formation of individual (collective), conceptual, and spatial perceptions of a profession (specialty) through the example of human resource management (HRM) as an occupation. Aim. This study examines the conditions, factors, and specific features of the formation of individual (collective) perceptions of HRM as an occupation in different social and professional communities. Tasks. This study evaluates, summarizes, and categorizes individual perceptions of HRM as demonstrated by respondents who are directly or indirectly engaged in HRM at each step of the process of their individual professionalization. Methods. Associative evaluations of the individual (collective) perceptions of HRM are made using visual mediators (images [outlines] of geometric figures). The survey involves 1,083 respondents studying at four universities in a field of study including HRM. Interpreting the results (in the context of psychogeometry) enables the identification and categorization of the associative, figurative, and symbolic perceptions of respondents with regard to identifying the characteristics of HRM in terms of common, specific, or special attributes. Results. Stereotypical (common) perceptions of HRM practices, which reveal the general principles of human management in an organization, are dominant in individuals currently undergoing professional self-determination and professional self-identification. Individual perceptions of an individual’s future (current) profession (specialty) reflect professional value orientations that are typical for the field of study selected by the individual. Social and professional perceptions of a particular profession (specialty) that dominate a specific educational institution predetermine the trajectory of the development of an individual’s professional personality. As a person acquires their own experience in a particular professional activity, the theme of professionalism becomes actualized in their individual perception of the profession (specialty). Conclusion. The results of the study on the formation and development of individual (collective) perceptions of future (current) professions provide a foundation for branding and the brand management of the professionalization of a particular occupation. Implementing a branding system in the current field of HRM ensures the individual professionalization of human resource managers, who are in high demand among potential employers.
