This book examines the new conditions under which professional
work, often referred to as "knowledge-intensive work," is organised
and how professional groups who have traditionally been granted
jurisdictional discretion now have their work routines
renegotiated. In the new economic regime of what has been called
"investor capitalism" and under the influence of shareholder
primacy governance, professional work is put under pressure to
change. The author explores issues of increased financial and
economic volatility, the pressure to outsource and offshore
professional work and the increased supply of competitors with
tertiary education degrees in the labour market. Examining both
macroeconomic conditions and policy that inform and shape the
domain of professional work, the book emphasises how the nature of
professional work has changed since the 1980s and 1990s and argues
that it is no longer a "safe haven" for a favoured group of elite
workers. Precarious Professional Work underlines how the study of
professions must constantly accommodate new economic conditions and
managerial practices to better understand how professional work is
dependent on and entangled with external social, economic, and
political conditions.
