Abstract

We explore the role of moral, cognitive, and pragmatic legitimacy in reproducing the organization of two on‐demand labor platforms for couriers. Labor platforms are ideal cases to explore questions of legitimacy and institutional reproduction because they aspire towards automaticity. Since the 1970s, with the emergence of new production technologies and organizational forms, labor and work scholars have predicted a shift from the use of direct, coercive controls as a method to coordinate activity to more indirect, hegemonic, and normative methods of control. However, we find that in the case of the gig economy, platform firms are refuting the predictions of Post‐Fordist labor scholars, relying upon new forms of direct technological control as well as coercive, indirect market control, as opposed to shared norms and obligations, as methods for coordinating activity. We explore the implications of ‘post‐legitimate’ institutions, as well as the latent moral economy of gig workers as revealed through their critiques of the platform economy.
后合法社会
我们探讨了道德、认知和实用合法性在复制两个按需快递员劳动平台组织中的作用。劳务平台是探讨合法性和制度再生产问题的理想案例,因为它们渴望实现自动化。自 20 世纪 70 年代以来,随着新的生产技术和组织形式的出现,劳动和工作学者们预测,作为协调活动的一种方法,将从使用直接的、强制性的控制转向更间接的、霸权的和规范性的控制方法。然而,我们发现,在 "打工经济 "的案例中,平台公司正在反驳 "后福特主义 "劳动学者的预测,它们依赖于新形式的直接技术控制以及胁迫性的间接市场控制,而不是共享规范和义务,作为协调活动的方法。我们将探讨 "后合法 "机构的影响,以及通过对平台经济的批评所揭示的临时工潜在的道德经济。

期刊介绍: The Journal for the Theory of Social Behaviour publishes original theoretical and methodological articles that examine the links between social structures and human agency embedded in behavioural practices. The Journal is truly unique in focusing first and foremost on social behaviour, over and above any disciplinary or local framing of such behaviour. In so doing, it embraces a range of theoretical orientations and, by requiring authors to write for a wide audience, the Journal is distinctively interdisciplinary and accessible to readers world-wide in the fields of psychology, sociology and philosophy.
