Technology has driven new organisations of work and employment relationships, rendering changes that would have been unimaginable just a decade ago. The rise of digital platforms has not only enabled new forms of work activity but also transformed the way workers find new opportunities. This development, referred to as gig work, is distinct from traditional employment in that it is mediated through online platforms. While we can somewhat objectively designate traditional job characteristics as ‘good’ or ‘bad’, designating gig work itself as ‘good’ or ‘bad’ overlooks the fact that workers are inclined to evaluate the quality of their jobs according to their own individual needs, priorities, backgrounds and other circumstances—even if those jobs are objectively the same. Unlike previous scholarship on gig work, which has viewed job quality largely from a platform‐focused perspective, this article takes a worker‐centric approach and provides a typology of gig workers. The typology demarcates how gig work is used and indicates key attributes that differentiate how workers approach such jobs. Moreover, the typology reveals heterogeneity in gig workers’ motivations, characteristics and intentions. Consequently, platforms with ‘bad’ job quality characteristics can still offer work that some workers will see as ‘good’ and vice versa.

使演出工作：数字平台，工作质量和员工积极性

技术推动了新的工作和雇佣关系组织的发展，带来了十年前无法想象的变化。数字平台的兴起不仅实现了新的工作形式，而且改变了工人寻找新机会的方式。这种发展被称为演出工作，与传统就业方式不同，因为它是通过在线平台进行调解的。尽管我们可以客观地将传统工作特征指定为“好”或“差”，但将演出工作本身指定为“好”或“差”却忽略了这样一个事实，即工人倾向于根据自己的个人需求评估工作质量。 ，优先事项，背景和其他情况-即使这些工作在客观上是相同的。与以前的演出工作奖学金不同，本文主要从以平台为中心的角度看待工作质量，本文采用以工作人员为中心的方法，并提供了演出工人的类型。该类型划分了演出工作的使用方式，并指出了区分工人如何处理此类工作的关键属性。此外，这种类型学揭示了演出工作者的动机，特征和意图的异质性。因此，具有“不良”工作质量特征的平台仍然可以提供某些工人将其视为“良好”的工作，反之亦然。特征和意图。因此，具有“不良”工作质量特征的平台仍然可以提供某些工人将其视为“良好”的工作，反之亦然。特征和意图。因此，具有“不良”工作质量特征的平台仍然可以提供某些工人将其视为“良好”的工作，反之亦然。
