About the Book

This Research Handbook explores how gig workers’ careers fit into the evolving employment landscape. It provides essential insights into how individuals can navigate the gig economy successfully and sustainably. Bringing together a diverse, global collective of contributors, the editors showcase how careers can unfold in the gig economy. They investigate a wide variety of occupations from cleaners to performing artists and from courier work to short-term contracts in the IT and design sectors, demonstrating the complexity of gig employment. Authors assess the dynamics of flexibility, unpredictability, meaningfulness and sustainability to present a detailed picture of the advantages and challenges of gig work in a fast-paced and complicated modern world. Scholars and students focusing on work or industrial and organizational psychology, human resource management, the sociology of work, decent work, and economic growth will find this Research Handbook a useful reference tool. Consultants and policy makers focusing on regulatory frameworks will additionally benefit from its real-world insights.
