professional identity
Work role conception
Professional identity is the sense of self derived from one's occupation or career—the values, skills, and social role that come with being a doctor, teacher, lawyer, or tradesperson.
It shapes how people see themselves and present themselves to others: Her professional identity as a journalist informed everything she wrote.
The concept appears frequently in discussions of career transitions, burnout, and work-life balance, where the boundaries between who you are and what you do become blurred.
