Resumo: The restructuring of work in the industrial sector brought about by the development of the “knowledge society” has led important changes in organisations and their workers. The transforming industry is one of the main sectors that have undergone abrupt changes in the last few years. The clothing subsector was one of the first to use different forms of flexibility in order to remain competitive. This article analyses this change process and its effects on the industry's “knowledge professions”, particularly in terms of its application to the professional group “clothes designers”. In order to understand the impact that the restructuring of their work has had on this group, the authors analyse the changes that have taken place in their working conditions, qualifications and skills, use of knowledge, professional identity and career trajectories.

Uno de los principales sectores que han sufrido alteraciones bruscas en los últimos años es el de la industria transformadora. El subsector de vestuario, fue de los primeros en utilizar diferentes formas de flexibilidad con el objetivo de mantenerse competitivo. Éste artículo analiza este proceso de cambio y sus efectos en las “profesiones del conocimiento” en la industria, particularmente a su aplicación al grupo profesional de los diseñadores de vestuario. Para comprender el impacto de la reestructuración del trabajo en el grupo estudiado analizaremos los cambios que ocurrieron en sus condiciones de trabajo, grados de estudio y competencias, uso del conocimiento, identidad profesional y trayectorias de carrera.La restructuration du travail dans le secteur industriel, suscitée par le développement de la “ société de la connaissance ”, a provoqué d’importants changements au sein des organisations et chez leurs travailleurs. L’un des principaux secteurs ayant subi des changements brusques ces dernières années est celui de l’industrie manufacturière. Le sous-secteur de l’habillement est l’un des premiers ayant mis en place différentes formes de flexibilité afin de rester compétitif. Cet article analyse ce processus de changement et ses effets sur les “ professions de la connaissance ” dans l’industrie, notamment sur le groupe professionnel des designers de vêtements. Pour comprendre l’impact de la restructuration du travail sur le groupe étudié, l’article analyse les changements qui se sont produits dans les conditions de travail, les qualifications et les compétences, l’utilisation de la connaissance, l’identité professionnelle et l’évolution de carrière.A reestruturação do trabalho no setor da indústria, resultante do desenvolvimento da “sociedade do conhecimento”, provocou importantes mudanças nas organizações e nos seus trabalhadores. Um dos principais setores que tem vindo a sofrer alterações bruscas nos últimos anos é o da indústria transformadora. O subsetor do vestuário foi dos primeiros a utilizar diferentes formas de flexibilidade com o objetivo de se manter competitivo. Este artigo analisa este processo de mudança e os seus efeitos nas “profissões do conhecimento” na indústria, nomeadamente a sua aplicação ao grupo profissional dos designers do vestuário. Para compreender o impacto da reestruturação do trabalho no grupo estudado analisam-se as mudanças que ocorreram nas suas condições de trabalho, qualificações e competências, uso do conhecimento, identidade profissional e trajetórias de carreira.Mundos Sociais, CIES-IUL, Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL)2013-03-26info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://doi.org/10.7458/SPP2013722620eng2182-79070873-6529Paulos, Margarida RamiresMoniz, António Brandãoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessreponame:Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos)instname:Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãoinstacron:RCAAP2023-03-28T12:16:23Zoai:ojs.revistas.rcaap.pt:article/2620Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireopendoar:71602024-03-19T17:46:26.214591Repositório Científico de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (Repositórios Cientìficos) - Agência para a Sociedade do Conhecimento (UMIC) - FCT - Sociedade da Informaçãofalse
