勤務する
§ Using 勤務する for "working" in general
One of the most common mistakes learners make is using 勤務する when they simply want to say they are "working" in a general sense. While 勤務する means "to work" or "to be on duty," it carries a more formal and specific nuance than other verbs like 働く (hataraku). Think of 勤務する as being about your official job or assignment, your place of employment, or your duty hours. It's less about the act of performing tasks and more about the state of being employed or assigned to a specific post.
If you're talking about the act of performing work or labor, 働く is usually the better choice. For instance, if you're saying "I worked hard today," you'd use 働く, not 勤務する. If you're talking about your job or where you're employed, 勤務する fits better.
今日は一生懸命働いた。
- Hint
- I worked hard today.
§ Confusing 勤務する with 働く
Let's dive a bit deeper into the difference between 勤務する and 働く. Both translate to "to work," but their usage contexts are different. 働く is a more versatile verb. You can 働く at a part-time job, you can 働く on a project, or you can 働く to support your family. It's broad. 勤務する, on the other hand, is specifically about official employment and duty.
Consider these examples:
- You are a doctor on duty at a hospital. You would say 病院に勤務している (byouin ni kinmu shiteiru).
- You are working on a weekend project at home. You would say 家でプロジェクトに働いている (ie de purojekuto ni hataraiteiru).
The key distinction is formality and scope. 勤務する implies a more structured, official work environment. It often comes with a location or an organization. You wouldn't typically use 勤務する to talk about working on your hobbies or doing chores around the house, even though those are forms of "work."
彼は銀行に勤務している。
- Hint
- He is employed at a bank. (Literally: He is on duty at a bank.)
§ Incorrectly using particles with 勤務する
Another common error relates to the particles used with 勤務する. Since 勤務する often specifies a location of employment, you'll frequently see it paired with the particle に (ni) to indicate where someone is working. While other particles might feel intuitive, sticking to に for location of duty is usually the safest bet.
For example, if you want to say "I work at a company," you would say 会社に勤務している (kaisha ni kinmu shiteiru). Using で (de) might sound natural to an English speaker, as "at" can translate to で for actions, but in the context of being officially employed or on duty at a place, に is the correct particle.
彼女は病院に勤務している。
- Hint
- She is employed at the hospital.
§ Overusing 勤務する in casual conversation
As 勤務する has a more formal tone, it can sound a bit stiff or overly formal if used in very casual conversation. While it's perfectly fine in business settings or when discussing your professional life, in everyday chats with friends or family, 働く is often more natural.
Imagine you're telling a friend about your day. Instead of saying 今日は会社に勤務した (kyou wa kaisha ni kinmu shita), which sounds like something you'd say in a formal report, you'd likely say 今日は会社で働いた (kyou wa kaisha de hataraita). The latter feels much more conversational and less like you're giving a status update to your boss.
週末も働く予定です。
- Hint
- I plan to work even on the weekend.
§ Not understanding the 'duty' aspect
The "to be on duty" part of 勤務する is very important. It implies a responsibility and an official presence. You are not just "doing work"; you are fulfilling a role or an assignment. This is why it's commonly used for people in specific professions like police officers, doctors, or office workers during their designated work hours.
It's less about the activity of working and more about the status of being at your post or being responsible for certain tasks during a specific time. If you're volunteering, for example, you're 働く (working), but you're probably not 勤務する (on duty) in the same official capacity as a paid employee.
警察官は夜間に勤務することが多い。
- Hint
- Police officers often work (are on duty) at night.
By understanding these nuances, you can avoid common pitfalls and use 勤務する more accurately and naturally in your Japanese conversations. Pay attention to the context, formality, and the specific meaning you want to convey, and you'll be well on your way to mastering this useful verb.

Both 勤務する and 働く mean 'to work'. However, 働く is a more general term for working or laboring, often implying physical or mental effort. It can refer to working in a broad sense, like working on a project, or working to support a family.
勤務する specifically means 'to be on duty' or 'to be employed at a particular place of work'. It emphasizes the official act of being present and performing tasks as part of one's job. 働く is broader and can be used for any kind of labor, even unpaid or informal work.
彼は毎日一生懸命働いています。(He works hard every day.) 私は会社で働いています。(I work at a company.)
勤める also means 'to be employed' or 'to work for'. It's very close in meaning to 勤務する and is often used interchangeably in casual conversation.
While 勤める implies being employed at a specific place, it has a slightly softer nuance than 勤務する. 勤務する is more formal and emphasizes the act of being present and performing duties, often in a professional or official context. 勤める can feel a bit more like 'serving' or 'being in service to' a company.
彼は銀行に勤めています。(He works at a bank.) 私は公務員として勤めています。(I work as a civil servant.)
従事する means 'to be engaged in' or 'to be involved in' a particular task or work, which can sound similar to working.
Unlike 勤務する, which focuses on being employed and present at a workplace, 従事する highlights the act of dedicating oneself to a specific task, project, or field. It can be used for activities that are not necessarily paid employment, such as volunteer work or research. It's about being occupied with something.
彼は研究に従事しています。(He is engaged in research.) 彼女はボランティア活動に従事している。(She is involved in volunteer activities.)
作業する means 'to work' or 'to operate' in the sense of performing a specific task or operation, often manual or technical.
勤務する refers to the overall act of being employed and on duty. 作業する focuses on the execution of a specific, often hands-on, task within a job. You might 勤務する at a factory, and while there, you would 作業する on the assembly line. It's a more granular description of 'working'.
彼らは建設現場で作業しています。(They are working at the construction site.) この機械の操作作業は複雑だ。(The operation of this machine is complex.)
職務 means 'duty' or 'job responsibility', which is related to working.
勤務する is a verb meaning 'to work' or 'to be on duty'. 職務 is a noun that refers to the specific duties or responsibilities of one's job. You perform 職務 while you are 勤務する.

सुझाव
Basic Meaning of 勤務する
勤務する (きんむする) means 'to work' or 'to be on duty'. It's often used in formal contexts, especially when talking about one's job or workplace. Think of it as a more specific and formal way to say 'to work' compared to other verbs.
When to Use 勤務する
Use 勤務する when you want to emphasize the idea of being employed and performing duties for an organization. For example, you wouldn't typically use it for casual work like doing chores at home.
Common Collocations
You'll often see 勤務する with particles like 「に」 indicating the place of work or 「として」 indicating the role. For example, 「会社に勤務する」 (to work at a company) or 「医者として勤務する」 (to work as a doctor).
Distinction from 働く (はたらく)
While 働く (はたらく) also means 'to work,' it's a more general term. You can use 働く for almost any kind of work, even volunteering or studying. 勤務する specifically refers to formal employment. Remember: all 勤務する is 働く, but not all 働く is 勤務する.
Formality Level
勤務する carries a slightly more formal and business-like tone than 働く. It's perfectly appropriate in professional settings, job applications, or when discussing one's career.
Noun Form: 勤務 (きんむ)
The noun form, 勤務 (きんむ), means 'service,' 'duty,' or 'work.' You'll see it in phrases like 「勤務時間」 (working hours) or 「勤務地」 (place of work).

Don't Overuse It Casually
While it's good to know, avoid using 勤務する in extremely casual conversations unless the context specifically calls for it. For example, don't say 「家で料理を勤務する」 (to work cooking at home). Stick to 働く for general activities.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवालThat's a great question! Both mean 'to work,' but they have slightly different nuances. 働く (hataraku) is a general term for working, whether it's at a job, doing chores, or even working hard on a hobby. 勤務する (kinmu suru), on the other hand, specifically refers to being on duty or engaged in professional work, usually at a company or organization. Think of 勤務する as 'to be employed' or 'to perform one's duties.'
For example, you could say 「毎日働いています。」 (I work every day.) but you'd more likely say 「会社で勤務しています。」 (I am employed at a company.)
Yes, absolutely! 勤務する can be used for both full-time and part-time work. As long as you are performing duties for a job or organization, it's appropriate to use 勤務する. You might hear 「パートタイムで勤務しています。」 (I'm working part-time.) or 「アルバイトとして勤務しています。」 (I'm working as a part-timer/doing a 'baito').
Yes, that's a good observation. 勤務する generally carries a more formal and professional tone than 働く. You'll often see it in official documents, job descriptions, or when discussing work in a business context. 働く is more common in everyday conversation.
Since 勤務する is a する verb (a noun + する), it conjugates just like other する verbs. Here are a few common forms:
- Present/Future (polite): 勤務します (kinmu shimasu) - I work/will work
- Present/Future (plain): 勤務する (kinmu suru) - to work
- Past (polite): 勤務しました (kinmu shimashita) - I worked
- Past (plain): 勤務した (kinmu shita) - worked
- Negative (polite): 勤務しません (kinmu shimasen) - I don't work/won't work
- Negative (plain): 勤務しない (kinmu shinai) - don't work
While 勤務する primarily refers to work at a job, it can extend to being 'on duty' in a broader sense when it involves performing official responsibilities. For example, a police officer or a firefighter might be described as 勤務中 (kinmu-chū) meaning 'on duty.' However, for a general 'on call' situation not directly tied to a regular job, other phrases might be more natural.
A very common phrase is 勤務時間 (kinmu jikan), which means 'working hours' or 'duty hours.' Another useful one is 勤務地 (kinmu chi), meaning 'place of work' or 'work location.'
Examples:
「私の勤務時間は午前9時から午後5時までです。」 (My working hours are from 9 AM to 5 PM.)
「勤務地は東京です。」 (My work location is Tokyo.)
Yes, generally it does. 勤務する strongly suggests a regular, scheduled, and official employment at a specific location or for a specific organization. It implies a certain level of commitment and responsibility in that role.
Yes, the word 勤務 (kinmu) itself can be used as a noun meaning 'work,' 'service,' or 'duty.' For example, you might see 勤務先 (kinmu-saki) which means 'place of employment' or 'company one works for.'
Typically, no. 勤務する is generally used when you are employed by an organization or performing duties for someone else. If you are self-employed or working for yourself, you would usually use 働く (hataraku) or other more specific terms like 独立して働く (dokuritsu shite hataraku - to work independently) or 事業をする (jigyō o suru - to run a business).
You could ask: 「どちらに勤務されていますか？」 (Dochira ni kinmu sarete imasu ka?) This is a polite way to ask, 'Where are you employed?' or 'Where do you work?' The 'sarete imasu ka' (される - sareru, passive/honorific form) adds a layer of politeness suitable for this kind of inquiry in a formal or business setting.

Basic Meaning of 勤務する
勤務する (きんむする) means 'to work' or 'to be on duty'. It's often used in formal contexts, especially when talking about one's job or workplace. Think of it as a more specific and formal way to say 'to work' compared to other verbs.
When to Use 勤務する
Use 勤務する when you want to emphasize the idea of being employed and performing duties for an organization. For example, you wouldn't typically use it for casual work like doing chores at home.
Common Collocations
You'll often see 勤務する with particles like 「に」 indicating the place of work or 「として」 indicating the role. For example, 「会社に勤務する」 (to work at a company) or 「医者として勤務する」 (to work as a doctor).
Distinction from 働く (はたらく)
While 働く (はたらく) also means 'to work,' it's a more general term. You can use 働く for almost any kind of work, even volunteering or studying. 勤務する specifically refers to formal employment. Remember: all 勤務する is 働く, but not all 働く is 勤務する.
