Abstract

As organizations look to become leaner, more workers find themselves in the role of an independent contractor participating in the gig economy. This research describes the creation of a design science artifact that captures dynamic and systemic relations between the conventional and gig economy. Considering the gig economy’s disruptive impact on the labor market, this research focuses on the role of platform effectiveness and relative pricing in on the dual economies. It seeks to contribute to the extant literature by capturing the complex and dynamic aspects of the two parallel economies. Ongoing work and future plans are outlined and formulated.
