Mechanism of Algorithmic Control on Gig Workers'Workplace Well-Being
Based on self-determination theory,the impact of algorithmic control on gig workers'workplace well-being is conducted with mediating effect of job autonomy and the moderating effect of family motivation.The analysis of 621 questionnaire data from gig workers shows that algorithmic control has a positive effect on work-place well-being with job autonomy playing a mediating effect;family motivation negatively moderates the relation-ship between algorithmic control and job autonomy.Specifically,a higher level of family motivation weakens the positive effects of algorithmic control on job autonomy.Additionally,family motivation moderates the indirect ef-fect between algorithmic control and workplace well-being,that is,the mediating role of job autonomy is weaker in the presence of higher levels of family motivation.This research not only gives practical direction for platform-based firms in scientifically developing algorithmic systems,but also provides theoretical guidance to increase gig workers'workplace well-being.
