Abstract:

In the digital age, the management of the labor has undergone great changes. New requirements are needed for the algorithmic governance of workers. This paper discusses the generative logic and optimization path of algorithmic governance in the digital labor scene, starting from the control of the algorithmic labor process. The lack of algorithmic governance of workers has brought new changes to controlling workers’time, space and assessments. These changes have inspired workers to seek new protections for their rights and interests. Their demands mainly include off-line rest, humanization of labor rules and fairness in pay deductions. The protection of workers’ rights and interests calls for an optimization strategy of “algorithmic good governance”, which requires us to move from disorder to a conscious and deliberate order.

Key words: digital labor scene, labor process management, labor rights, algorithm control, algorithm governance
