The impact of digital technology on work
Source: Social Science Research Network - SSRN
For a quarter of a century, the use of digital tools in the world of work has continued to grow and evolve across all sectors. The development of digital tools allows an employee to work from home, away from the company premises.
In this study, Santiago Melián González takes stock of this new way of working and this new form of labour market (microwork) that is disrupting the traditional labour market.
But the author goes further, showing us the impact of these new technologies on the well-being of these 4.0 workers, these new workers in the age of automation and artificial intelligence.
With the proliferation of social networks, S. Melián-González highlights the e-reputation of these micro-work platforms, such as "appjober" or "taskrabbit", by these digital workers, forcing these companies to be more transparent towards their employees.
