Abstract
The early sociology of work was synonymous with industrial sociology, as the focus of analysis was industrial work and the industrial worker. In recent years, there is a growing debate in relation to its future; namely its relation with other with adjacent sociological fields, the possibility of attracting a scientific elite, its place within a society where the role of work is being questioned. The paper underlines that sociology of work has displayed an ability to adapt to the changing employment patterns. The paper supports that the modern sociology of work should therefore be considered as an inhomogeneous scientific field, reflecting the constant changes taking place in work and employment.
