Gig workers have become an important component of the contemporary workforce and have generated extensive interest among researchers. The purpose of this article is to provide an integrative review of the literature on gig workers. Consistent with the more recent studies, we adopt a broad definition of gig work, which is characterized by the temporary nature of the work, project-based compensation, work flexibility, and non-membership in an organization. We first discuss the major themes in the literature based on an input–process–output framework. Specifically, we review what factors drive individuals to engage in gig work, how gig work impacts gig workers based on four theoretical approaches, and what outcomes individuals experience as a result of engaging in gig work. Based on the literature review, we highlight six future research agendas. We also discuss practical implications for gig workers, traditional organizations, digital labor platforms, and society.

零工工作和零工工人：未来研究的综合审查和议程

零工工人已成为当代劳动力的重要组成部分，并引起了研究人员的广泛兴趣。本文的目的是对有关零工工人的文献进行综合回顾。与最近的研究一致，我们对零工工作采用了广泛的定义，其特点是工作的临时性、基于项目的薪酬、工作灵活性和非组织成员身份。我们首先基于输入-过程-输出框架讨论文献中的主要主题。具体来说，我们根据四种理论方法回顾了哪些因素促使个人从事零工工作，零工工作如何影响零工工人，以及个人因从事零工工作而经历了什么结果。根据文献综述，我们重点介绍了六个未来的研究议程。我们还讨论了对零工工人、传统组织、数字劳动力平台和社会的实际影响。
