    This document discusses several concepts related to interpreting as a profession including status, working conditions, burnout, stress, job satisfaction, and agencies. It notes that while interpreting has become partially professionalized, it does not fully meet all criteria to be considered a profession. Interpreters can experience occupational stress and burnout due to competing physical and cognitive demands. Job satisfaction is influenced by many factors like education, salary, and recognition.

    CONCEPTOS

    PROFESIONALES
    GABRIEL GÓMEZ CARVACHO
    UNIVERSIDAD DE LAS AMÉRICAS
    STATUS

    • Status or prestige is mainly achieved


    through professionalization, the process
    that turns a mere occupation into a full-
    fledged profession.
    • Although attempts to professionalize the
    field of interpreting have been partially
    successful in some areas and in some
    national contexts, there is probably no
    sub-branch of interpreting anywhere in
    the world that meets all eight criteria.
    WORKING CONDITIONS

    • Interpreting as a situated activity is always performed in a social context, and the


    interpreter’s work is therefore influenced by a wide range of physical and psycho-social
    conditions as well as mental demands in the work environment.
    • For interpreters in various community settings, issues of health and safety may loom large.
    • For conference interpreters, in particular, the dimension of working conditions that is
    associated most closely with occupational stress and performance quality is at the level of
    the task as such
    BURNOUT

    • Burnout is a syndrome defined by increased


    emotional exhaustion and depersonalization
    as well as reduced feelings of personal
    accomplishment.
    • Interpreters may suffer from burnout in part
    due to competing or excessive physical and
    cognitive demands.
    STRESS

    • The intrinsic complexity of interpreting, both


    from the cognitive point of view and as a
    social activity in which the interpreter bears
    responsibility towards clients in many
    different settings, represents a likely stimulus
    condition for (occupational) stress.
    JOB SATISFACTION

    • Job satisfaction includes many connecting


    factors related to working life. Education,
    environment, salary, promotion, recognition,
    and ability are just a few of the variables that
    contribute to the larger whole that is job
    satisfaction
    AGENCIES

    • Agencies, or interpreter brokers, are central to the


    organization of language services of any size or
    complexity.
    • Interpreting agencies typically work in a
    constrained environment. Unlike translation
    agencies, which may have an international field of
    operation, interpreting agencies will be largely
    concerned with the local market, only occasionally
    extending to work internationally through the use of
    Technology, as in the case of Telephone
    interpreting and (video) Remote interpreting.
