| Abstract | A study evaluated the potential of professionalization strategies for enhancing the occupation of development officers, particularly in higher education. Based on the strength (high or low of the individual's commitment to two variables, namely, the occupation (cosmopolitanism) and the institution (localism), four recognizable development types are identified: the professional, marked by high loyalty to both the institution and the occupation; the careerist (sometimes called a "migrant worker") marked by loyalty to the occupation above the institution; the placebound worker, having little loyalty to either the occupation or the institution; and the booster, marked by high loyalty to the institution and minimum identification with the occupation. Three theoretical perspectives on professionalization in general, from the 1950s to the present, are described: functional, pluralist power, and institutional. Goals, strategies, and tactics commonly used in the professionalization process are discussed, including development of a knowledge base, instilling of a service orientation, organization of national and regional associations, construction of codes of ethics, and introduction of certification, licensing, and accreditation. The benefits and costs of professional skill development and of establishing a theoretical and research base for this and other professions are assessed. It is concluded that while development officers are concerned about their professional image, there appears to be little interest in developing the theory and research base for fund-raising as a mature profession. Includes 27 references. (MSE) |
