What Is Skill?
Attewell, Paul
Work and Occupations: An International Sociological Journal, v17 n4 p422-48 Nov 1990
This theoretical analysis of sociological conceptions of skill contrasts four approaches: positivist, ethnomethodological, Weberian, and Marxist. It is argued that impasses in industrial sociology stem from the fact that these approaches use very different notions of skill. (58 references) (SK)
