Notas do Editor
- Ultimately an identity formation process is an achievement of the individual. But it takes place within particular communities where socialization, interaction and learning are key elements. So an individual is interacting with others when at work, all engaging in a set of activities and these interactions shape the development of a professional identity. The recognition from the community peers and hierarchies, within the organization as well as outside, e.g. the attachment to communities of practice, work groups plays an important influence.
