The article provides a comprehensive analysis of the parameters of Internet employment as a new phenomenon of the modern development of society. Internet employment is viewed as the social and labour activity of citizens with the aim of generating income to meet personal and sociocultural needs, through the use of virtual means of communication and interaction on the Internet. The mix–strategy, the methodology of mixed studies, which allows reflecting its multifacetedness, is productive for the study of the phenomenon. Internet employment is represented by a complex of indicator parameters, classified according to the content base in the format of the facet model. Three groups of basic parameters have been identified and substantiated: socio-cultural, psychological and economic. The statistical data on the development and dynamics of Internet employment in Russia and the world are given. The need for carrying out in-depth socio-psychological research of Internet employment is grounded. It is the strengthening of the psychological vector of domestic and foreign research that will make it possible to prevent the emergence, development and spread of violations of the mental status of Internet workers. Internet employment for many teleworkers acts as a risk factor, generating psycho-emotional problems, for example, panic attacks, stress, depression. This is determined by the specifics of e–employment, in particular, the autonomy of the performance of labor functions (socio-cultural isolation), the localization of professional activities (in the home), alexithymic manifestations (a sharp restriction of communication), lack of psycho-emotional support from close people, a background conflict between labor and household (daily) duties. The results of the research are significant for the increment of theoretical knowledge in the field of sociology and labour psychology, sociology and personality psychology, genealogy, as well as for improving the practice of social work in the employment of the population and optimizing the employment of representatives of socially vulnerable, low-mobile groups.
