ABSTRACT
The success or failure of an organization depends on employee performance. Hence, organizations are investing a great amount of money in employee development. The aim of this study was to test a prediction model of perception of professional development. 320 employees from different professional categories of public and private organizations participated in the survey. The questionnaire contained three scales, all of them with good indicators of psychometric validity. The results obtained by multiple regression confirmed that perceived organizational justice and resilience positively predict perception of professional development, and that resilience has a greater predictive power. Results were discussed according to the professional development theory.
