Document Summary

The degree of hr professionalism, as perceived by its specialists, has been mixed. In order for hr to be a true profession it has to meet nine dimensions of what constitutes a profession (fanning, 2011). There are some characteristics that demonstrate hr as a profession while others do not. However, hr has not scored highly on everything that defines a profession (claus collison, 2005), which makes hr a profession questionable. Hr practitioners sees hr to have a recognized body of knowledge and skills that add respect to the organization (claus collison, 2005). For example, most hr practitioners have a university degree either in business administration or human resources management and many have professional certification credentials (2005). Hr practitioners have a strong ideology of service. All together, they are concerned with the well-being of employees and financial interested for the good of their organizations (2005).
