Preferred term

definitional work  

Definition

  • Work can mean many different things. This makes it difficult to define work but also makes it important to explicitly consider the multiple meanings of work that are frequently implicitly held by researchers, policy makers, and workers themselves. [Source: Sociology of Work: An Encyclopedia; Work, Definitional]
