In postulating a new class of work in which these changes in work activity are reflected, the concept “Mental Information Work” (MIW) (Roe & Meijer, 1990) was introduced. In constructing it, MIV was considered a “tool of the mind”, i.e. a concept to understand and organize our knowledge on work activity and explore its changes. In this paper we explore more fundamentally the demarcating boundaries of MIW. The conceptualization of MIW, within the paradigm of action theory, can only take place by acknowledging its emerging complex features, and by using a multidimensional approach in defining and classifying it. Future theoretical efforts should incorporate knowledge of cognitive and developmental psychology and should be extended with methodological issues, like the development of analytical tools for encountering MIW.
