Abstract

Approaches the issue of productivity in services from a phenomenological perspective. Refers to embodiment, expression and emotion in working life of services. Discusses an understanding of post‐industrial service work and a corresponding service‐productivity culture. Presents the concept of “communities of productive practice”. Offers managerial and organizational implications for an embodied productivity.
