Abstract
Conditions for Professional Work: the way work is structured With the passage of time, professionals have been called more and more to account (O’Neill, 2002, 2014; Vriens, Vosselman & Groß 2016).

(2016) came up with a conceptual model to illustrate this form of accountability. The goal of this master thesis is to improve this model. The model is not yet detailed enough to apply in a professional field and examine the working conditions of professionals. One of the conditions for professional work is “the way work is structured” (Vriens et al., 2016, p.6). This research elaborates on this condition and adds theoretical background to this condition in order to improve the model by Vriens et al. (2016).
