Dear Vasilis Koniaris,
Among workers, the gig economy is creating a new set of expectations and attitudes to work.
Dear Vasilis,
There is a great amount of research on sharing economy companies' involvement in institutional enterpreneurship, more specifically their strategies to obtain legitimacy. See for example, our recent paper (Distelmans and Scheerlinck) on Uber.
For studies on gig workers' specific conditions, you might consult research by C. Vanroelen on gig workers' (lack of) wellbeing.
