y is a discourse of control used increasingly by managers in work organizations. It incorporates rational-legal forms of decision-making, hierarchical structures of authority, the standardization of work practices, accountability, targetsetting and performance review and is based on occupational training and certification. In contrast, occupational professionalism is the more traditional, historical form. This involves a discourse constructed within professional groups themselves that involves discretionary decisionmaking in complex cases, collegial authority, the occupational control of the work and is based on trust in the practitioner by both clients and employers (Evetts, 2006, pp. 140–141).
