उत्तर
Garima stated that she was not a professional because she is not regarded a full-fledged professional as a manager.
The following three points in support of the statement:
- Lack of a standardised qualification: Managers, unlike other professions such as law, engineering, or accountancy, do not have a standardized capability. While some managers may have a business administration degree, becoming a manager is not required. As a result, the lack of a standardized certification for managers makes it difficult to regard them as full-fledged professionals.
- Lack of regulatory bodies: Professional bodies establish standards and ensure that their members follow ethical norms of conduct. For example, the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India regulates the accounting profession in India. There is, however, no governing agency for managers. Because of this lack of regulation, it is impossible to regard managers as full-fledged professionals.
- Varied job roles: A manager's function can vary significantly among industries and organizations. For example, a general manager at a manufacturing firm has distinct job responsibilities than a general manager in a software firm. Because work duties vary so widely, it isn't easy to define what it means to be a manager and what skills are required to become one. As a result, it is impossible to regard managers as full-fledged professionals.
