Abstract

The aim of this study is to examine the importance of the platform work concept in the literature. With this way, bibliometric analysis was used to map the evolution research on platform work which is used for recommend to studies for the future. In the analysis phase, Web of Science database according to the inclusion and exclusion filtering options. It was determined that the studies started in 2014 and there were 236 research articles in total within the scope of articles published in journals indexed It was found that the countries with the highest number of publications on platform work are the UK (44 publications, 404 citations) and Belgium (23 publications, 166 citations), respectively. Antonio Alosi and Valerio De Stefano were found to be the most prolific authors on the subject. According to the common-word analysis conducted for these criteria, in terms of research areas, the studies are concentrated in the fields of industrial relations (79), economics (46), law (39), management (36) and sociology (32). According to the content of the cited articles and the results of the common keyword analysis; Gig economy, conditions of platform work, collective bargaining and trade unions, precarity in the platform economy were prioritized in the platform economy. Since the literature about platform work is a newly developing area, it is thought that it would be important to focus on macro issues as well as issues that have an individual impact on employees in order to develop a more comprehensive understanding of the research on the subject. In addition, there is a few numbers of research on platform work in the Web of Science category in Turkey, so the studies may examine the potential gap in this field.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, platform çalışma kavramının literatürdeki yerini, önemini ve etkilerini incelemektir. Bu doğrultuda platform çalışma konulu araştırmaların evrimini ve haritasını çıkarmak; geleceğe yönelik yapılması önerilen çalışmaların tespiti amacıyla bibliyometrik analizden faydalanılmıştır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre, 2014 yılından itibaren yayımlanmış Web of Science veri tabanında taranan farklı türdeki eserlerin bibliyometrik verisi analiz birimidir. Dahil etme ve hariç tutma kıstasları sonrasında konuya ilişkin 236 çalışma olduğu; en üretken yazarların Antonio Alosi ve Valerio De Stefano olduğu; araştırma alanları açısından çalışmaların endüstri ilişkileri (79), ekonomi (46), hukuk (39), yönetim (36), sosyoloji (32) alanlarında yoğunlaştığı; yayınların ülkelere göre dağılımında İngiltere (44 yayın, 404 atıf) ve Belçika (23 yayın, 166 atıf) olduğu bulunmuştur. Ayrıca konuya ilişkin en sık kullanılan anahtar kelimeler Gig ekonomisi, platform çalışmanın koşulları, toplu pazarlık ve sendika, platform ekonomisinde prekarya konularının öncelikli olduğu görülmüştür. Platform çalışmaya ilişkin literatürün yeni gelişen bir alan olmasında dolayı, konuya ilişkin araştırmalara daha kapsamlı bir anlayış geliştirmek için makro konuların yanı sıra çalışanlar yönünden bireysel etkisi olan konulara odaklanılmasının önemli olacağı düşünülmektedir. Ayrıca, ülkemizdeki Web of Science kategorisinde platform çalışma konusunda yayın sayısının az olması bu alanda potansiyel bir boşluk olduğunu göstermektedir.
