摘要

零工平台如何防止工人投奔竞争对手？作者通过对 210 名打车司机的 40 次原始访谈和调查数据发现，平台公司利用游戏化的奖励制度来校准工人面临的市场风险。这些奖励保护遵守规定的工人免受市场条件变化的影响，提高了他们接受竞争对手工作的成本。然而，那些不遵守规定的员工则被 "推 "到边缘，增加了他们的市场风险。本文阐述了平台公司如何利用其 "看得见的手 "来驾驭和控制市场力量，塑造平台内和平台间的工人行为。

Visible hands: How gig companies shape workers' exposure to market risk

How do gig platforms prevent workers from defecting to a competitor? Drawing on 40 original interviews and survey data from 210 ride-hail drivers, the author finds that platform companies calibrate workers' exposure to market risk using gamified reward systems. These rewards protect compliant workers from changes in market conditions, raising the costs of accepting work from a competitor. Yet those who do not comply are “pushed” to the periphery, increasing their market risk. This article illustrates how platform companies can use their “visible hands” to harness and control market forces, shaping worker behavior within and across platforms.
