| Abstract (ENG): |
The purpose of this research project is to shed light on the controversial nature of digital labor platforms. While being depicted as markets, digital labor platforms are also referred to as corporations in academic and public discourse. Building on institutional logics and affordances, we contribute to a deeper understanding of the nature of these platforms by a) providing an analysis of the different affordances enabled by platform features, and b) linking them to market and corporation institutional logics as they are perceived by workers and the public. The findings will help policy makers in the classification and regulation of digital labor platforms and provide guidance for platform owners in their choice of platform features. |
