ABSTRACT
Garfinkel developed his interest in the organization of work before he published his edited collection Ethnomethodological Studies of Work (Garfinkel 1986). In fact, already in the 1950s and 1960s, Garfinkel had analyzed work practice and the practical reasoning of actors who used their knowledge of an organization to come to decisions about their actions, in his studies of jurors in their deliberations (Garfinkel 1967f) and of personnel in clinics (Garfinkel 1967h).
