Details	In the modern society, information quality management (IQM) has become vital for organisations to preserve the quality of products and services they provide, because the quality of their decisions and, thus, activities are significantly dependent on the quality of information they collect, store, process, create and use. Consequently, IQM in organisations directly or indirectly influences the quality of life of a wide range of people. In this regard, organisations have to accept their social responsibility for IQM. One of the promising ways of ensuring socially responsible as well as successful IQM is to encourage organisational members who are engaged in IQM to develop a professional outlook and attitude; all the players of socially responsible IQM in an organisation have to develop, more or less, a professional outlook. However, there exist obstacles to development of professionalism of employees in business organisations and remain several open questions about IQM professionalism. This study aims at addressing the questions and proposing policies to surmount the obstacles.
