The Causes of and Solutions to Work Pressure of Employees of "Big Factory" in the Digital Era: Technological Embedding, Organizational Mechanisms, and Cultural Contexts
The work pressure faced by employees in the digital labor mode is a concentrated reflection of the digital transformation of labor management throughout society. Internet giants enhance employees' work pressure through technological embedding, organizational mechanisms, and cultural contexts, breaking the boundary between work and personal life, creating "business tournaments", "performance tournaments", and fixed elimination systems for all employees. This phenomenon, coupled with the catalytic effects of market competition and the imperfect protection system for workers' rights and interests, has led to high mobility of Big-factory's employees. Based on qualitative research on the work pressure of employees in these Internet giant, the study suggests that enterprises should recognize the phenomenon of workers' rights and interests being damaged under the labor management model of these giants. They should reduce the panoramic monitoring of employees, decrease the excessive dependence of the labor process on digital technology, reform the unreasonable performance contest that leads to layoffs, and cultivate a friendly corporate culture, etc. These measures could reduce employees' work pressure, promote their work-life balance, effectively protect various labor rights of employees in the digital era, and achieve sustainable development of the digital economy.
