(2020) BUSN49 20201Department of Business Administration
- Abstract
- The purpose of this master thesis was to increase the understanding of the role of gender in the Gig Economy. This research followed a social constructivist approach with an abductive mechanism that allowed for parallel working with theory and empirical data. Ten in-depth semi-structured interviews build the foundation for the research in this thesis. With the metaphor of ‘walking barefoot’, this research contributed to a new way of theorizing the dynamics of gender within the Gig Economy.
