• Description:
  The article discusses several selected aspects connected with use of the concept of „occupation” in sociology. The author starts from pointing up the genesis of the interest in this variable. Then he shows the contexts in which it is applied -that is: 1) an object of interest in itself as a category for identifying and describing various social circles, 2) an object of rhetorical and methodological reflection, as a tool for conceptualisation and operationalization other phenomena, 3) an „explanatory variable” in analyses in which the phenomena explained are the various social attributes of individuals. Next author describes the main currents of reflection about occupation in contemporary sociology, and in conclusion he indicates theoretical problems and practical difficulties in using indicators constructed on the basis of information about the occupational situation in sociological research.
