The literature on professions, drawing on both sociological and management approaches, has recently turned its focus to the transnational scale. In this article, building on Andrew Abbott’s work on professional jurisdictions, we analyze the way transnational resources come to play a role in local professional claims-making and work practices in the inter-professional struggle over jurisdiction. Comparing case studies set in Denmark into three emerging professional jurisdictions, our analysis shows that professional segments claiming new work tasks engage actively in scaling work that attempts to ‘rescale’ the jurisdiction to fit their own professional projects and claims. We find that scaling practices consist of three different ways professionals invest in transnational resources: organizational avatars, new work regulations and prescriptions, and symbolic legitimacy. These ways in which professionals transform transnational resources into claims used in local professionals situations result in different outcomes for the professional segments involved.

关于职业的文献，借鉴了社会学和管理学的方法，最近将焦点转向了跨国规模。在本文中，基于 Andrew Abbott 关于专业管辖权的工作，我们分析了跨国资源如何在本地专业索赔制定和专业间管辖权斗争中的工作实践中发挥作用。将丹麦的案例研究与三个新兴的专业管辖区进行比较，我们的分析表明，声称新工作任务的专业部门积极参与扩大工作，试图“重新调整”管辖区以适应他们自己的专业项目和主张。我们发现，规模化实践包括专业人士投资跨国资源的三种不同方式：组织化身、新的工作规则和处方、和象征性的合法性。专业人士将跨国资源​​转化为在当地专业人士情况下使用的主张的这些方式导致所涉及的专业领域的不同结果。
