1	Professionalism and Its Implications in the Saudi Nonprofit Sector Alzahrani, Yahya Saleh A. 05 1900 (has links) Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / The Saudi Arabian government launched Vision 2030 in 2016 that will have repercussions for all aspects of society. The Saudi nonprofit sector has undergone massive and unprecedented reform ever since. Professionalism is a major tool for this reform, prompting an increasing need for research on the topic of organizational professionalism. This dissertation examines how to define and measure organizational professionalism and its implications in the Saudi nonprofit sector. After introducing key concepts and historical context in Chapter 1, I include three articles that address these themes. Using grounded theory methodology, in Chapter 2, I focus on how nonprofit workers in Saudi Arabia define professionalism. In Chapter 3, I develop, test, and validate a professionalism scale from Saudi nonprofit workers’ perspective. In Chapter 4, I examine implications of professionalism on Saudi nonprofit employees’ work-related wellbeing: job satisfaction, turnover intention, and job burnout. In the Conclusion (Chapter 5), I discuss results along with potential implications for policies and practice, recommendations, limitations, and directions for future research.

Furthermore, the study aimed to examine what quality means in terms of knowledge and competence and what conditions the business provides its staff to achieve these requirements. The results show that quality is often governed by laws and quality indicators, with a focus on standardized methods. This can reduce flexibility and increase bureaucracy, which in turn negatively affects the quality of work with the client. The study confirms that a strict organizational view of quality ignores immeasurable aspects such as self-reflection and self-awareness, which the informants emphasize as important factors for quality in work with clients. The work criticizes the current structure and proposes the development of quality indicators that include occupational professionalism values to achieve sustainable quality within sheltered housing. competence knowledge occupational professionalism organizational professionalism private shelters standardization quality kompetens kunskap kvalitet organisatorisk professionalism privata skyddade boenden standardisering yrkesmässig professionalism Social Work Socialt arbete Övrig annan samhällsvetenskap
