personal position of non-involvement and mental non-belonging to the socially acceptable professional morality for this profession. The emergence of professional marginalism is considered as a consequence of the loss (or non-acquisition) of identification with the profession – both in terms of self-awareness and in the sphere of real behavior. Some signs of professional marginalism identified by E. P. Ermolaeva:
1) At the personal and motivational level: “consumption of the profession”, imitation of professional activity.
2) At the value level: pseudo-professional mentality, imitation, double morality.
For the professional marginal, the profession is only a means of achieving non-professional (personal or narrowly corporate) goals, often contradicting the normative goals of the profession, its mission and social significance.
