Summary/Abstract: Objective considerations undertaken in this study lead to the conclusion that regardless of their position and responsibilities, a sociologist operating in different sectors of the Polish labor market has a significant advantage over graduates of other disciplines within the social sciences and humanities. The study of sociology provides strong foundations for the development of both social sensitivity and qualified methodological research. However, this potential should be strengthened by the recognition of the importance of humanities competence and ethical disposal in sociological education. It will allow both the employers and employees to appreciate the important role that sociologist have in the process of creating/maintaining the positive content of social ties. Although they do not have a formalized expression, these ties lead to the creation of a governance axio‑normative order. This article is an attempt at pointing out the inevitability of redefinition of the professional and social role of sociologists in Poland.
