The purpose of this paper is to explore the professional identity and career progression of such Academic Programme Directors. A descriptive analysis was conducted of all the Curacy/Academic Programme Directors in the Church of England. This was done to evaluate whether HE organisational citizenship behaviour (OCB) as a means of professional identity existed and whether this influenced HE career development. The data from this case study revealed that a HE professional identity is not a priority due to the priestly identity and career development taking precedence. The case study of a non-traditional HE context is an example of competing identities. Conflicting and competing identities within HE may lead to a low OCB which may lead to high turnover intentions.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Canadian Journal of Career Development}, author={Gerhardt, Trevor}, year={2019}, month={Sep.}, pages={18–33} }
