ALMEIDA, Paulo Pereira de. Modern work and service: one possible discussion about typologies and definitions. Sociologia, Problemas e Práticas [online]. 2011, n.67, pp.23-42. ISSN 0873-6529.

The apparent depletion of the explanations for the organization of work rooted in the industrial and post-industrial model is an opportunity to change paradigm and to incorporate (new) concepts in the sociological analyses of work. This article discusses the concept of service in view of several authors and presents their typologies in societies where the service and the sector economically defined as tertiary acquired paramount importance in the economic systems of production and exchange. We believe that a better conceptual understanding and exploration of these authors will be an important conceptual framework for present and future research in the field of sociology of work applied to services.

Palabras clave : work; service (definition); systems of work; proximity services; use value.
