“…These are referred to as the satisfiers or motivator factors in the Two-Factor Theory 5 (TFT; Herzberg, 1968), since they increase an employee's motivation, achievement, recognition, and responsibility and dampen his turnover intention (Chiat & Panatik, 2019).

Wu and Zhou (2023) investigated the influence of basic psychological needs on the well‐being of DiDi drivers in China. Their findings indicate that fundamental psychological needs, such as respect, recognition, and occupational planning, play a crucial role in enhancing the well‐being of gig workers.…”

Gig work is one of the fastest‐growing trends in the labor market, one that accelerated during the COVID‐19 pandemic. It is therefore important to understand its impact on individual happiness. A simple theoretical framework is constructed to analyze aspects of gig work and their effect on happiness. In particular, we model happiness as being dependent on various characteristics of work, such as income, work flexibility, job stability and job security, employee benefits, and non‐pecuniary benefits. We demonstrate that merging salaried work and gig work can be an effective way to increase happiness. The proposed framework identifies the characteristics of an individual who will achieve greater happiness in gig work. These insights may help to understand the effect of recent changes in the labor market on workers' happiness.

“…Prior literature also tries to find ways to improve gigs' well-being. For instance, Wu and Zhou (2022) explore the relationship between gig workers' well-being and propose 10 basic psychological need satisfaction combination configurations to promote gig workers' well-being. Zhang et al (2022) consider workers' lived experiences, preferences and well-being to co-design algorithmic management by using a participatory design approach.…”

PurposeInformation technology-enabled gig platforms connect freelancers with consumers to provide short-term services or asset sharing. The growth of gig economy, however, has been accompanied by controversy, and, recently, food delivery platforms have been criticized for using data-driven techniques to set strict delivery time limits, resulting in negative externality. This study aims to provide managerial implications on the decisions of delivery time and subsidy for food delivery platforms.Design/methodology/approachThe authors develop an analytical framework to investigate the optimal delivery time and subsidy provided to delivery drivers to maximize the gig platform's profit and compare the results with those of a socially optimal outcome.FindingsThe study reveals that it is optimal for the platform to shorten the delivery time and raise the subsidy when the food price becomes higher; nevertheless, the platform should shorten the delivery time and lower the subsidy in response to a higher delivery fee. Increases in the food price or delivery fee have non-monotonic effects on the number of fulfilled orders and the platform's profit. In addition, the authors solve the socially optimal outcome and find that a socially optimal delivery time is longer than the platform's preferred length when the delivery fee is high and the negative externality is strong.Originality/valueThe food delivery platform's optimal decision on delivery time is derived after taking negative externality into account, which is rarely considered in the prior literature but is a practically important problem.

With the popularity of mobile terminals and social media increasing, misinformation about science has increased in China. To understand the nature of the popularity of scientific rumors, we analyzed 206 typical cases released by four authoritative platforms in China from 2010 to 2020. Content analysis revealed that the majority of scientific rumors are related to health and safety (76.8%), use a visual format (61.2%), are published on social media (62.2%), and provide more than three narrative elements (78.2%). In addition, rumors from unidentified netizens’ claims or homemade experiments are the most common (35.9%), followed by highly credible sources, such as expert assertions (20.9%) or scientific research results (19.4%). A further qualitative comparative analysis indicated that a combination of details and fear-mongering are significant conditions that make rumors receive significant attention. Visual presentation also plays an important role, while state media and the presence of scientific terminology have a weak effect.
