Abstract
This study verifies the constituents of the professional image by a quantitative method that follows previous qualitative work to clarify the conceptual structure of the professional image for appearance management in the workplace. This study used on-line and off-line data from a positive sampling that involved 1,056 male and female workers engaged in 10 occupational classes. The results of the study were as follows: First, the constituents of a professional image include openness, leadership, harmonious relationship, and financial power, all of which demonstrated a high interrelationship. Second, there are significant differences in favorable factors according to the occupational category. It is important to strategically manage the professional image in consideration of effective image factors and related appearance attributes.
