Socjologia pracy jako nauka stosowana, zaangażowana, publiczna: rozwój i dylematy subdyscypliny
Sociology of Work as an Applied, Engaged, Public Science: Development and Dilemmas of the Sub-discipline

Summary/Abstract: The article refers to the topic of a practical application of sociology of work andrelated social roles of sociologists of work. Applied sociology, which is sociological knowledge used for practical purposes, found its theoretical background in the work of sociologists such as Leon Petrażycki and Adam Podgórecki. Michael Burawoy and other representatives of public sociology seek to encourage the discipline to stand on the side of society and conduct research in a socially and politically engaged manner. Using the knowledge of sociologists working in social practice creates its added value, strengthens the position of sociology as a socially useful science. On the other hand, it exposes its representatives to the accusation of serving authority, subordination of scientific knowledge and its applications to the expectations of a sponsor or the requirements of employers. Involvement in public affairs is an opportunity to rebuild the importance of this sub-discipline in Poland after its crisis since 1989.
