Control and Autonomy in Application-Based Management.}, doi = {10.11584/arbeit-grenze-fluss.2}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:kobv:521-opus4-3889}, pages = {1-27}, year = {2018}, abstract = {The rise of digital platforms requires a deeper understanding of the structural role of algorithmic management in work environments. In this interdisciplinary study, we examine how digital platforms, which offer food delivery service, use a mobile application for management of their workforce. Drawing on interviews with self-employed riders at Deliveroo and employed riders at Foodora, we compare how the App affects the interplay between autonomy and control of riders, and how the app-based management relates to different contractual models.}, language = {en} }
