Definition

  • Work is a generic concept addressing the performance of all human tasks, but such activities may be carried out in a wide variety of social contexts that give them rather different meanings. Clothes may be made by an employee or the self-employed, or by a friend, relation, servant, or slave. [Source: International Encyclopedia of Organization Studies; Sociology of Work and Employment]
