O mercado de trabalho em mudança? Uma análise bibliométrica da uberização

Abstract

Currently, the increase in speed and access to the internet, online platforms, information georeferencing services and applications have facilitated and shortened the client's access to the product, as well as designated other work models, thus, the emerging concept of Uberization is observed, the result of labor transformations arising from application platforms and their services. Given the relevance of the subject today, the aim of this paper is to analyze how the concept of Uberization manifests itself in the scientific field through bibliometrics, in which research will be outlined in the journals of the consolidated base SCOPUS and presented its directions, case studies, trends and general considerations. It is noted that the theme Uberization as a SCOPUS base is recent dated 2015 with a predominance of research in Brazil and France. Aspects that are related to the theme involve capitalist relations, internet of things, cell phone apps, the study of man(s)/human(s) as workers, artificial intelligence, and its contributions on pandering. It is noticeable that over the years research has focused on the discussion of the concept, comparing it with other definitions and case studies. In the case studies, the perceptions of the workers are studied, and the results point to the precariousness of the work, high routine, low pay (and sometimes financial loss), and reduction of free time and fun for the employees.
