Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the effect that insecurity and autonomy of platform work have an influence on work-life balance and psychological well-being in an era of platform economy based on two characteristics of online platform work and self-determination theory. Design/methodology/approach This study suggested the structural equation model integrating two antecedents, insecurity and autonomy, work-life balance, and psychological well-being and proposed five hypotheses driven from the research model. A total of 334 valid samples were collected from platform workers by employing questionnaire including 24 question items of four constructs. Findings Three hypotheses were supported and one hypothesis was not supported at the significance level of 0.05. Insecurity of platform work has a negative influence on work-life balance at the significance level of 0.01, whereas insecurity of platform work has no a significant influence on psychological well-being. Autonomy of platform work has a positive influence on both work-life balance and psychological well-being at the significance level of 0.01. Work-life balance has a positive impact on psychological well-being at the significance level of 0.001. Insecurity have an influence on psychological well-being indirectly through mediation of work-life balance. Implications for academicians and practitioners were suggested.

Purpose In online delivery platforms, platform workers are required to perform both platform labor, which is compensated with immediate wages, and shadow work which is a kind of unpaid job to support the platform labor. Thus, the objective of this study is to empirically examine how platform workers' platform labor and shadow work affect their job burnout and their turnover intention in the online delivery platform context. Design/methodology/approach This study developed a research model by employing platform labor and shadow work to influence job burnout and turnover intention. This study also tested the model by partial least square techniques after collecting 169 cross-sectional data from food delivery riders in Korea. Findings This study found that both platform labor and shadow work affected platform workers' job burnout. In addition, the results showed that shadow work influenced their turnover intention while platform labor did not affect the turnover intention. Based on the results, this study contributed to relevant researchers who are interested in platform contexts by offering measurable constructs on platform labor and shadow work. In addition, this study could provide practitioners with practical implications on managing platform workers.

The enhancement of algorithmic management within platform companies and the expanding recognition of the 'employee status' of platform workers in various areas indicate a need for platform companies to broaden their comprehension of platform workers' job attitudes as an internal human resource. This study aims to explore variations in platform workers' job attitudes based on their work values in light of the evolving landscape of algorithmic management. Specifically, the research delves into discerning differences in platform workers' perceptions of job attitudes in relation to their work values. A multivariate analysis of variance(MANOVA) was employed in examining survey data from 177 riders affiliated with a delivery platform that implemented algorithmic management. The findings revealed that platform workers who prioritize work value (job interest), exhibited higher levels of perceived fairness in compensation and autonomy. Moreover, those who placed greater importance on work value (economic compensation), demonstrated elevated levels of work overload, perceived fairness in compensation, job burnout, and intentions to seek alternative employment opportunities.

According to the statistics of occupational injuries in 2013, the work platforms were main objects causing fall injuries in construction sites. But many scaffold and platform workers use and install the work platforms and the fixed and mobile scaffolding without considering about safety and health standards. We had done a nationwide survey about how the platform workers obey safety and health standards. As the result of this survey, in order to ensure the safety of the work platforms, we founded that the platform workers must obey the safety and health standards when using and installing the work platforms. To improve the safety and health conscious of the workers, it needs to educate a worker on safety and health standards for work platforms. Also, to effectively prevent constructin injuries for the work platforms, it is rextricted for workers to use only safety certified work platforms. And, before installing and using work platforms, it needs to make a work plan for work platforms and obey it.

Despite the maturity of platforms, only some studies have explored the relationships between the working conditions of platform workers and their organization-like responses to these platforms. Thus, this research utilized the Job Demands-Resources Model (JD-R Model) to analyze the effects of job demands and resources on platform workers' job embracing. The data were collected from 182 food delivery riders in South Korea. This study utilized the PLS technique (partial least squares) to examine the research model. Regarding job demands, this study has found that work overload and physical effort significantly affect burnout. Regarding job resources, the results revealed that service technology support and training significantly affect work engagement. In alignment with the Job Demands-Resources literature, the findings offer tangible proof that burnout has a detrimental impact on job embracing, whereas work engagement has a beneficial effect on job embracing. Our findings indicate that work engagement exerts a more substantial beneficial effect on job embracing, and burnout reduces job embracing. Results also provide novel insights to scholars seeking a comprehensive research model on the impact of on-demand workplace conditions to help platforms attract and retain platform workers.

This paper presents an implementation of a gesture recognition platform that can be used in a factory workplaces. The platform consists of signages that display worker's job orders and a control center that is used to manage work orders for factory workers. Each worker does not need to bring work order documents and can browse the assigned work orders on the signage at his/her workplace. The contents of signage can be controlled by worker's hand and arm gestures. Gestures are extracted from body movement tracked by 3D depth camera and converted to the commandsthat control displayed content of the signage. Using the control center, the factory manager can assign tasks to each worker, upload work order documents to the system, and see each worker's progress. The implementation has been applied experimentally to a machining factory workplace. This flatform provides convenience for factory workers when they are working at workplaces, improves security of techincal documents, but can also be used to build smart factories.
