In immer mehr Unternehmen arbeitet eine wachsende Zahl hochqualifizierter Beschäftigter an der Entwicklung und dem Betrieb von Informationstechnik. Waren die Arbeitswelten und Bewusstseinsformen dieser IT-Angestellten in der New Economy in den Fokus der arbeitssoziologischen Diskussion gerückt, ließ das Interesse daran nach dem Platzen der Dot.com-Blase wieder nach.

The aim of this paper is to take up the trail of the IT employees and to carry on research about them under these new circumstances. The focus is to develop a sociology of work perspective upon a special group of IT employees currently appearing on the scene under the heading of 'tech workers' and shed light on their work practices. By developing and operating the Internet applications that power digital platforms this group is currently reshaping more and more industries.... view less
