Using an interdisciplinary approach, this book draws on legal, HRM, occupational psychology and economic perspectives to innovatively explore the conflicts and blurring boundaries affecting the Gig Economy in terms of the worker, employee identity, status and relationships, and team and career management.
Structured to explore Macro, Meso and Micro levels of analysis, Conflicts and Shifting Boundaries in the Gig Economy examines a range of issues, including:
- the employee in the gig economy
- trade unions and gigs
- talent management and the gig economy
- the future of whistleblowing in the gig economy
- gig worker's choices and organisational attractiveness.
International case studies introduce new insights and research questions on the current and future challenges posed by the gig economy, alongside potential remedies to allow organisations to adapt their strategy and management to survive and thrive in this new disrupting economy.
Rebecca Page-Tickell and Elaine Yerby offer researchers, practitioners and organisations the opportunity to understand and address conflicts within the workplace and wider socio-economic settings, to ensure the sustainability and well-being of those in and outside of the gig economy.
