Abstract
This chapter traces the post-war development of sociological approaches to work, labour and industrial relations in the Romanian case. We follow the major conceptual transformations and cycles of research that engaged these topics. Somewhat surprisingly, in the early decades of Romanian socialism, between 1948 and 1965, there were very few texts addressing these themes. Between 1966 and 1977, there was a frenzy of research and publications concerning work. From 1977 to 1989, sociology was banned in Romania, although previous preoccupations were now found under the aegis of human resources management and future management. Since the 1990s, we witnessed a collapse of interest in the topic, with some analyses published on the issue often in a neoliberal key.

Notes
- 1.
It was not Henri Stahl’s first investigation of Hunedoara County, he also conducted research in 1946 (Rostás 2000). Moreover, he had already collaborated with architects Ștefan Popovici and Adrian Gheorghiu at the Social Romanian Institute before the war as part of the monograph surveys (Rostás 2000).
- 2.
Provoked by Zoltan Rostaș’s comment, Henri H. Stahl remembers that Ioan I. Matei was the prison warden where Miron Constantinescu and Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej were imprisoned as illegalists during the war. However, “at the right time there was an arrangement with the communists” (Rostás 2000). Throughout the interview, his references are appreciative: “Matei was second in command, Matei was a debutant. He did not even study with us. He joined us more on a political line. He had not conducted sociology with either Gusti or myself. […] I do not know how he did it. But I had no idea he even existed. A good kid otherwise. Nothing to say there” (Rostás 2000).

These innovations are discussed by the Gustians in a series of seminars in 1949 held by the Romanian Association of Friends of the Soviet Union (Mărginean 2015).

The purpose of the leave was in order for Miron Constantinescu’s to write a book on the issue of the transition in Romania (Stahl 1965).
