摘要：Work is almost totally absent in the debate about societal sustainability and thedevelopment of sustainable forms of production. However, social orientations related towork and workplace practices contain underestimated and overlooked possibilities whichcould be used to enhance efforts towards sustainability. Likewise changes in the directiontowards sustainability can contribute to the quality of work.The link between the world of work and sustainability is examined by studying the originsof institutional changes and organisational renewal towards socially and environmentallysustainable production among environmentalists, business and labour. A common vision ofsustainable environmentalism and social sustainable working life development is providedthrough a rough outline of a concept of sustainable work. The concept of sustainable workwill be pinned down by confronting the current concept of sustainability with a classical,ontological, concept of work, were work is seen as the core element in individual and socialdevelopment.The article provides suggestions for the development of a sustainable work practice illustratedby a reflexive transition management practice for sustainability and a trade union practicewhere labour policy and handling of workers interest is linked to efforts to bring aboutsocietal change in the direction of sustainability
