Popis: New business models have emerged in the late 20th century due to Internet technology (IT) development and digital transformation. One of them – known as the gig economy – represents a new business concept that stands for a market system in which individuals offer their services on a fixed-time basis to other businesses through a digital platform. The purpose of this paper is to explore the relatively new field of the gig economy and its context based on previous findings and literature. Accordingly, the concept of the gig economy is based on a triangular relationship between the individual (worker; provider), the digital intermediary of the process (online labour platform) and the end-user of the service (employer). Such a concept implies various benefits for all parties involved but also brings many challenges. The paper aims to provide a descriptive insight into the literature and findings and introduce terminology related to the gig economy concept. It also aims to discuss the nature of work within the gig economy, its current dimensions, its value creation for firms and entrepreneurship, and the issues that need to be addressed for the gig workforce and its likely future policy implications. The paper’s limitations are the lack of agreement on standard definitions and national and international frameworks of the gig economy workforce, even though studies suggest that gig workers are among the fastest-growing forces in contemporary work arrangements. Therefore, the paper encourages the development of policies and programs to identify the specifics, benefits, and challenges of the gig economy and its impact on society in order to facilitate and promote this new, growing entrepreneurial category.
Novi poslovni modeli pojavili su se krajem 20. stoljeća razvojem internetske tehnologije (IT) i digitalne transformacije. Jedan od njih – poznat pod nazivom gig ekonomija – predstavlja novi poslovni koncept koji se odnosi na tržišni sustav u kojem pojedinci nude svoje usluge na određeno vrijeme drugim tvrtkama putem digitalnih platforma. Svrha je ovog rada istražiti relativno novo područje gig ekonomije i njezin kontekst na temelju prethodnih istraživanja i literature. Prema tome koncept gig ekonomije temelji se na trokutastom odnosu između pojedinca (radnika; davatelja usluga), digitalnog posrednika procesa (mrežne platforme rada) i krajnjeg korisnika usluge (poslodavca). Takav koncept podrazumijeva različite koristi za sve uključene strane, ali donosi i brojne izazove. Cilj je rada pružiti opisni uvid u literaturu i istraživanja te uvesti, odnosno predstaviti terminologiju koja se odnosi na koncept gig ekonomije. Također je cilj raspraviti o prirodi rada unutar gig ekonomije, njezinim trenutnim značajkama, stvaranju vrijednosti za tvrtke i poduzetništvo te pitanjima koja treba riješiti vezano za radnu snagu gig ekonomije i budućim implikacijama na politiku. Ograničenja rada su nedostatak sporazuma o standardnim definicijama i nacionalnim i međunarodnim okvirima radne snage iako studije sugeriraju da je radna snaga gig ekonomije među najbrže rastućim silama u suvremenim radnim odnosima. Stoga rad potiče razvoj politika i programa za identificiranje specifičnosti, koristi i izazova gig ekonomije te njezinog utjecaja na društvo kako bi se olakšala i promovirala nova, rastuća poduzetnička kategorija.
