Abstract: This paper develops the concept of "resilient professionalism" to illuminate the identity work of the management controller in a public organization. Based on biographical interviews, we show how its identity work starts with a negative own perception and requires coping with constraints and resistances over the long run, striving meanwhile to overcome or skirt them. The three core sets of practices and discourses shed light on a lesser-known aspect of management controllers' identity work: the way the individual customizes its professional image through a continuous resistance to difficulties.
