Abstract
The scale measures the degree of professionalism. (1972) designed the instrument to contain five statements related to each of the five dimensions of professionalism. Clikeman et al. (2001) measured the use of the professional organization as a referent (PO), belief in public service (PS), belief in self-regulation (SR), sense of calling (SC), and autonomy (AUTO) by the mean of the responses to the five statements corresponding to each dimension of professionalism.
