Abstract

In the literature on public management, the dominant perspective of professional practice is a concern for lack of political accountability and a risk of self-interested behavior in the interaction with citizens. For many years, performance management has been seen as a solution to this concern. Within the field of professional practice, the dominant perspective is a concern that performance management hijacks the autonomy of professionals and contributes to the proletarization of the professions. Evidence for both perspectives is mixed and there is a lack of knowledge about how professionals handle these claimed conflicts and whether performance management can be seen as a solution to this. The article discusses a particular relationship between management and practice: the professional judgment and concludes that there are two pitfalls to support the quality of professional practice: external goal management of professional practice and the absence of a reflection culture in professional practice. The article is a contribution to the 10th anniversary of the university colleges and can be read as an analysis of the managerial and professional context students will encounter as graduated professionals.
