Abstract

Since Covid-19 (C19) became a global pandemic, there has been a rise in the number of people joining food delivery platforms (FDPs). Although this form of gig work is gaining its pace, food delivery riders (FDRs) are falling behind in terms of rules and legislation designed to safeguard their employees. To understand the spread of these unstable forms of employment, it is essential to comprehend the factors that keep FDRs in it. This quantitative study employed PPM to determine the relationship between push, pull, and mooring factors and FDRs’ intention to participate in the gig economy; and to test whether these factors prevent or lead to their participative behaviour. The SPSS 26.0 and Smart PLS 3.30 programmes were used to analyse the survey data from 393 respondents. Economic necessities, extra income, flexibility, and control and autonomy, encouraged FDRs' gig economy participation, whereas limited alternatives and enjoyment minimise it. It is also evident that FDRs will have lower participation due to the lack of employment protection that also moderates the relationship between economic necessities and their participation in the gig economy. This research provides widespread implications for both theory and practice.
影响送餐员参与零工经济意愿的因素
自2019冠状病毒病(C19)成为全球大流行以来,加入送餐平台(fdp)的人数有所增加。尽管这种形式的零工工作正在加速发展,但在旨在保护员工的规则和立法方面,外卖司机(fdr)却落后了。要了解这些不稳定就业形式的传播,有必要了解使fdr继续存在的因素。本定量研究采用PPM来确定推、拉和系泊因素与fdr参与零工经济的意愿之间的关系;并测试这些因素是否会阻止或导致他们的参与行为。使用SPSS 26.0和Smart PLS 3.30程序分析393名受访者的调查数据。经济上的必需品、额外收入、灵活性、控制和自主,鼓励了fdr参与零工经济,而有限的选择和享受使其最小化。同样明显的是,由于缺乏就业保护,fdr的参与率将较低,这也缓和了经济必需品与他们参与零工经济之间的关系。本研究具有广泛的理论和实践意义。
