摘要

在线自由职业是独立工作者在数字劳动平台上提供服务的另一种工作形式,在信息系统研究中的重要性与日俱增。虽然人们对这种工作形式的总体认识在不断加深,但研究人员对数字劳动平台上的职业缺乏了解。然而,由于波动性、全球匹配和平台中介、工作的数字化和临时性以及算法管理等特殊的平台工作条件,这些职业与线下劳动力市场的职业有所不同。因此,为了了解数字劳务平台的工作条件如何影响自由职业者的动态职业道路,我们通过对数字劳务平台上的自由职业者和客户的 35 次访谈进行了探索性分析。因此,我们建立了一个长期自由职业者职业模型,并概述了平台职业生涯中晋升、衰退和退出的动态过程,从而为有关数字劳动平台上替代性工作形式的知识体系做出了贡献。我们还从平台锁定效应的角度说明了职业生涯各阶段之间的机制,而平台锁定效应是由职业发展动态和职业退出动态产生的。

Understanding the careers of freelancers on digital labor platforms: The case of IT work

Understanding the careers of freelancers on digital labor platforms: The case of IT work

Online freelancing, an alternative form of work where independent workers offer services on digital labor platforms, gains increasing importance in IS research. While the general understanding of this form of work is growing, research lacks understanding careers on digital labor platforms. However, these differ from careers in offline labor markets due to volatility, global matching and platform mediation, the digital and temporary nature of work, and algorithmic management as particular platform working conditions. Therefore, to understand how working conditions on digital labor platforms influence the dynamic career paths of freelancers, we conduct an exploratory analysis using 35 interviews with freelancers and clients on digital labor platforms. We thus contribute to the body of knowledge on alternative forms of work on digital labor platforms by developing a long-term freelancing career model and outlining the dynamics of advancement, decline, and exit within platform careers. We also illustrate mechanisms between career phases in terms of platform lock-in effects, which arise from the career advancement dynamics and career exit dynamics.

期刊介绍: The Information Systems Journal (ISJ) is an international journal promoting the study of, and interest in, information systems. Articles are welcome on research, practice, experience, current issues and debates. The ISJ encourages submissions that reflect the wide and interdisciplinary nature of the subject and articles that integrate technological disciplines with social, contextual and management issues, based on research using appropriate research methods.The ISJ has particularly built its reputation by publishing qualitative research and it continues to welcome such papers. Quantitative research papers are also welcome but they need to emphasise the context of the research and the theoretical and practical implications of their findings.The ISJ does not publish purely technical papers.
