| Abstract: | First I present some terminological instruments in order to analyze the flexibility of work and to demonstrate how it can be connected with an encompassing theory of society. In the next two steps I sum up the development of the older debate on working-time flexibilization and how it broadened within the dimensions of work flexibility, namely time, qualification and space. Than I shall offer a systematization of different types of flexibility of work, link it with the concept of flexicurity and add some considerations about chains of flexibilization. The article results in further questions concerning the relationship between improvements of economic efficiency and gains in individual autonomy, as well as concerning consequences of a flexible work society. |
