Abstract

In this article I develop a typology of digital work forms. Moving beyond the numerous conceptualisations of digital work, too focused on virtual work and neglecting material and invisible forms of digital work, I argue that to understand the global, interconnected varieties of digital work, it is necessary to apply a relational perspective that situates different forms of work and their linkages at the centre of the analysis. I propose a typology based on the relation to the process of work digitalisation. Further, I explain the linkages between various forms of digital work through the global exchange of tasks, materials and expertise resources. The typology serves as a heuristic tool for considering the broader implications of digitalisation for work and employment in terms of control and coordination as well as regulation and classification between linked workspaces, which I show using the example of the varieties of digital work needed to enable the use of smartphones.  KEYWORDS: Digital work; globalisation; virtual work; digitisation; Total Social Organisation of Labour

数字化工作的多样性
在本文中,我开发了一种数字工作形式的类型学。超越数字工作的众多概念,过于关注虚拟工作而忽视数字工作的物质和无形形式,我认为,为了理解全球相互关联的数字工作品种,有必要应用关系视角,将不同形式的工作及其联系置于分析的中心。我提出了一种基于与工作数字化过程关系的类型学。此外,我还通过任务、材料和专业知识资源的全球交换,解释了各种形式的数字工作之间的联系。这种类型学可以作为一种启发式工具,用于考虑数字化对工作和就业的更广泛影响,包括控制和协调,以及相互关联的工作空间之间的监管和分类,我用智能手机使用所需的各种数字工作的例子来说明这一点。关键词:数字化工作;全球化;虚拟工作;数字化;劳动的全部社会组织
