The role of universities in shaping professionalism: The perspective of students

Abstract

The article points out the changes taking place in the organization’s environment, affecting both the attitudes and professional aspirations of employees as well as career models. These changes have caused interest in using professional culture in human resources management. It was assumed that universities are organizations that play a particular role in shaping this culture. Changes on the education market, associated with the expectations of young people, but also the activities of university managers. However, they caused that the values of professional culture based on knowledge and its development, perceiving professional roles in category of service, abide by the ethical rules (especially trust in relations with colleagues and clients) become unimportant. The most important goal for students is to gain professional experience during their studies, which is perceived as the most important asset on the labour market. Students also assess the practical skills obtained during studies poorly. As a conclusion the author states that there is a serious crisis in higher education related with shaping a professional culture.
