Professional ability means a person's ability to perform specific tasks in a certain situation. In other words, professional ability means that a person has sufficient knowledge and information, a positive attitude, a strong personality, intellectual and practical skills, and does not lack social skills. The members of the scientific board can put the conditions and situation of other factors under the influence of their professional and technical-specialist ability; Professional skills and knowledge help the members of the scientific faculty to be able to convey the message that originates from their technical-specialized knowledge and skills to the audience. At present, one of the biggest challenges of universities in the world is the development and quality growth of academic faculty members. Acquiring professional competencies and updating them requires continuous professional development in three fields technical knowledge, specialized skills, and individual characteristics such as participation in group work, problem-solving, and development of general management skills. Professional development is a fruitful time when necessary opportunities are provided to improve and upgrade the skills and knowledge related to work for human resources. Identifying the abilities of the members of the scientific faculty in order to help their professional growth, determines the level of their abilities and provides the possibility of planning for their promotion. Before taking any action to help the professional growth of academic staff members, it is important to know and be aware of the background on which university leaders should prepare plans to help the professional growth of their members. An effective and efficient educational system is a system that fits the real goals and needs of society and has the ability to prepare the young generation and develop skills, including citizenship skills, to achieve the desired goals. Citizenship skills are one of the most important requirements in today's complex society. Citizenship competence refers to knowing how to interact in a democratic society. The citizenship competency program seeks to develop cognitive, communicative, and emotional competencies along with acquiring knowledge about the government and society.

Among the issues affecting the professional growth of faculty members, due to the reasons for the selection and career behaviors of faculty members, the extent of their involvement, and desire for each of the three job duties of this profession (teaching, research, and providing scientific advisory services). And the challenges affecting the profession of academic staff can be mentioned. Some experts place the main task of professional growth on the universities and higher education institutions, in which case, the university is obliged to help the faculty members become professionals by developing and implementing development programs.
