Abstract
BEDOYA-DORADO, Cristian and PELAEZ-LEON, Juan David. Human Resource Management in the Gig Economy: towards a new configuration?. Entramado [online]. 2023, vol.19, n.2, e16. Epub Oct 27, 2023. ISSN 1900-3803. https://doi.org/10.18041/1900-3803/entramado.2.9530.
The context of the Gig Economy involves a break in the standard employment relationship between employees and employer; and a questioning of the role of Human Resources management (HR) in charge of managing this link. This article aims to analyse the role and configuration of HR management in the context of the Gig Economy From the contingent configurational approach, the way in which HR practices are combined and configured to contribute to performance and manage the relationship with the individuals who participate in this economy is argued. It is found that the labour relationship between companies and gig workers is characterized by being transactional and symbiotic based on the utilitarian premise of mutual benefit. For this reason, for this context, an HR configuration oriented towards the market or maximizing productivity and the fulfilment of agreements would predominate.
