- PublikationExplorative Study of Gigworkers in Switzerland: A Typology(22.09.2021) Ryser, Thomas; Konrad, Jonas; Flepp, CorsinResearch Question Gig Work is a new flexible form of work with automated placement of mini jobs on online platforms. Little is known today about the gig workers and their motives for the new form of work. We investigated motives, life situations and needs of gig workers from the largest platform in Switzerland. Research design The explorative study followed a sequential mixed method design with qualitative interviews (professional biographical interviews (n=18), validation workshops (n=20)) and a subsequent online survey (n=1268). The results of a qualitative content analysis and a cluster analysis were combined to develop the typology. Results Six types were found: Explorers, Professionals, Balancers, Jobbers, Integraters and Diversifiers. They show that there are different needs in terms of flexibility, reconciliation of different work and life domains, and networking. The types differ in relevance and time perspective to work as a gig worker (transition phases vs. mid- to long term perspective). Limitations Limitations arise due to the case study of a single platform, the specific labour law status of gig workers and the economic context in Switzerland. Furthermore, selection effects in recruitment must be considered. Theoretical/practical implications The typology allows a differentiated understanding of gig workers motives and needs. In practice, it supports a further development of the platform model and target group-specific communication. Relevance We describe one of the first gig worker typologies in the platform economy, the first in the Swiss context.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationLatent Profiles of Organizational, Occupational and Supervisor Commitment among Nurses and their Effects on Employee Well-being and Health(31.05.2019) Wombacher, Jörg; Konrad, Jonas; Raff, TilmannPurpose Demographic changes have led to a shortage of nurses in the healthcare sector. Nursing staff and patients are getting older and nursing cases are becoming increasingly complex. As a result, nurses’ workloads and stress levels have increased, and employee turnover has risen. Adopting a person-centered perspective, this study examines the effects of nurses’ commitment profiles on their physical and emotional well-beingand other work-related outcomes. The profiles will will be extracted based on nurses’ affective, rational, and normative commitment to their organization, occupation, and supervisor. Design and Methodology A survey was conducted among 1029 nurses from all public hospitals, nursing homes and outpatient care services from the Swiss Canton of Solothurn. A latent profile analysis using Mplus was performed to extract the commtiment profiles and examine their associations with the outcome variables. Results Four commitment profiles were found that differ both quantitatively (in terms of commitment levels) and qualitatively (in terms of shape). Results show, among others, that nurses with a high affective but low rational and normative commitment to all three foci (occupation, organization, supervisor) show higher levels of emotional strain than other profiles (e.g., low commitment levels) but also greater levels of work-life-balance and health. Limitations The cross-sectional nature of the survey precludes causal inferences. Because all data were self-reported, the associations found between profiles and outcomes may be inflated. Implications for research The person-centered approach allows an examination of complex interaction patterns among commitment foci and dimensions and their associations with work-related outcomes. A longitudinalstudy is in order to better understand causal directions and the development of complex commitment profiles over time. Practical implications The study results are relevant to practices in human resource management and retention in the healthcare sector. Because the commitment profiles refer to a broad, within-person observation of nurses, it is important to address the whole individual in interventions targeted at the improvement of unbeneficial commitment profiles. A strict focus on single commitment foci or dimensions may not be enough. Orginality, Value To our knowledge, this is the first comprehensive exploration of complex commitment profiles and their association with employee health and well-being in the nursing profession.06 - Präsentation

- PublikationPersonas for a better understanding of emerging worker identities in the Swiss Gig Economy(25.10.2018) Ryser, Thomas; Flepp, Corsin; Konrad, JonasThe present applied research project studied gig workers of the biggest platform company in Switzerland (around 180’000 users inscribed). To assess worker personas data were analyzed from 18 indepth interviews including the inquiry of worker biographies, their work related social network structures. The results show that platform workers can be differentiated according to the continuity in the perception of the work form. Gig workers seeing the work form as a transition phase in their vocational development can be distinguished from workers who have developed a mid- till long- term perspective in doing gig work. The classification of personas can be interpreted as a model of individual career paths in a highly volatile, new job environment, where new worker identities emerge.06 - Präsentation
- PublikationChallenging the gendered segregation of work in the ICT sector by re-branding the occupation’s identity(2018) Resch, Dörte; Graf, Iris; Dreiling, Anke; Konrad, JonasThe percentage of women in the ICT-sector is in Switzerland at 15% (Econlab, 2014), the same is true for many other European countries. The gendered segregation of work in the ICT sector seems to be even more worrisome, as within the area of digitalization, ICT will shape jobs and society even more in the future. In this light, it is even more important, that an equal participation in the light of un-doing gender should be strived for (Kelan, 2010). Already a lot of valuable initiatives and insightful research has been conducted to raise awareness and insight to gendered choices and preferences on subjects at school (Bieri Buschor, Berweger, Keck Frei, & Kappler, 2012; Nosek, Banaji, & Greenwald, 2002). Research shows that, next to the sensitive phase of primary and secondary school, the phase of selecting a course of study or a vocational training is very important (Liebig, Levy, Sauer, & Sousa-Poza, 2014).06 - Präsentation

- PublikationModell zur Beschreibung von Vernetzungsanforderungen in der Gig Economy(2017) Ryser, Thomas; Konrad, JonasBei der Vermittlung von Arbeiten via online Plattformen in der sogenannten Plattform-Economy geht es um kurzfristige Aufträge, welche von Organisationen und Einzelpersonen ausgeschrieben und an ein möglichst weit reichendes, loses Netzwerk von potentiellen Arbeitnehmenden vermittelt werden. Diese Entwicklung führt zu einer neuen, stark fragmentierten Arbeitsform im Spannungsfeld zwischen Festanstellung, Temporärarbeit und der klassischen Selbständigkeit: Dem sogenannten Gig Work. Im Rahmen dieses Beitrages wird ein netzwerktheoretisches Beschreibungsmodell für die Darstellung der Vernetzungsbedürfnisse in der Gig Economy hergeleitet. Das Modell beschreibt Vernetzungsbedürfnisse durch die Interaktion der zentralen Akteure: Gig Worker, Auftraggeber und Vermittlungsplattform. Durch das Zusammentreffen unterschiedlichster kultureller Orientierungen ergeben sich spezifische Anforderungen an die Vernetzung. Diese werden genutzt, um sozio-technische Anforderungen für Kommunikations-Applikationen zur Vernetzung in der Gig Economy zu spezifizieren.06 - Präsentation
