Description

Using data from the first National Survey on Australians working in the gig economy, the study investigated worker perceptions of fairness in the context of digital platform work, with platforms such as Uber, Airtasker or Freelancer. The study identified two key features of platform work that shape fairness perceptions – autonomy and earnings. The study also demonstrated that type of platform work is an important factor to consider when assessing organisational justice. The findings contribute to the nascent literature addressing platform worker perceptions of fairness and inform organizational strategies and management practices that support fairness perceptions in platform work.
