Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: During the dramatic Internet-driven boom of the 1990s, fortunately the information technology does not immediate induce the unemployment. On the contrary, our economy seems to restructure into a new production paradigm that promote to create more jobs in the long run. It is no doubt that service jobs remain a dual skill gap and workers will confront to a more temporary, contractual and dynamic labor market. What kind of difficulties and demand would be faced in different service sectors? How important is the IT skill in current labor market? Or are social contact and relationship resources more essential for service workers? Whether the social resources, the IT-skills or both are the determinant factor contributing to employees� job fulfillment? The data was from a national-wide telephone survey under the �E-living and Quality of Life in Taiwan Project� conducted in September 2005. The results reveal there are four work patterns to explain work fulfillment in four different service sectors (producer, distributive, social and personal service). Compared with previous empirical studies, our study highlights the occupation prestige demand for producer service, both IT skill and social resource for distributive service, higher income for public service and more social resources for personal service.
