  abstract = {Organisations depend on the administrative process to carry out their goals and objectives, for the purposes of competitiveness and sustainability. As such, administrative functions are considered to be critical in the organisations. Hence, many organisations have little or no “room” for the malfunctioning of their administrative activities. There are a number of challenges that organisations encounter, one of the most critical of the challenges is to align employees’ interest with the organisational values and goals. This happens at both public and private organisations, at different levels of the organisational structure. The challenges of administrative process are inevitably associated to workplace Professionalism, which has become a fundamental factor for cultural built and prerequisite for Organisational success or failure. Some Organisations are aware of the administrative challenges, and others are not. Of those Organisations that are aware of the challenges, some of them do not seem to understand the gravity and depth of the impact it has on their growth, sustainability and competitiveness. Also, some of the organisations experience difficulty in attempt to manage the professional and administrative challenges within their environment. This is the motivation for this study. This paper presents the result from an interpretive case study, and the framework that was developed. The aim of the framework, Managing Professionalism and Administrative Framework (MPAF) is to guide managers and other employees in the management of professional acts and administrative activities in their Organisations.},
