In the analysis of the sustainability of knowledge work environments, the intensification of work has emerged as probably the single most important contradiction. We argue that the process of knowledge work intensification is increasingly self-driven and influenced by subjectification processes in the context of trends of individualisation and self-management. We use a qualitative case study of a leading multinational company in the information and communications technology sector (considered to be ‘best-in-class’) to discuss this intensification and its linkage with self-disciplining mechanisms. The workers studied seem to enjoy a number of resources that current psychosocial risk models identify as health promoting (e.g. autonomy, learning, career development and other material and symbolic rewards). We discuss the validity of these models to assess the increasingly boundaryless and self-managed knowledge work contexts characterised by internalisation of demands and resources and paradoxical feelings of autonomy. Knowledge work intensification increases health and social vulnerabilities directly and through two-way interactions with, first, the autonomy paradox and new modes of subjection at the workplace; second, atomisation and lack of social support; third, permanent accountability and insecurity; and finally, newer difficulties in setting boundaries.

This article examines profile data about 9,593 freelancers from 121 countries active in the Design and Multimedia section of Elance, a major online labour market existing up until 2015. Using statistical analysis, the article evidences that the earnings a contractor obtains from working through Elance positively correlates with higher reputation scores and suggests that the conception of trust among actors operating on an online labour market resembles that which characterises e-commerce platforms like eBay or Amazon, where trust relations among ‘strangers’ are guaranteed by an algorithmic-based third party that translates feedbacks and rankings into a numerical reputation proxy.

This article presents the use of the new French fiscal regime for small scale business: the auto-entrepreneur plan. This focuses on young graduates entering the job market by registering to this plan. In trying to understand how these young graduates adapt to their new situation, the survey reveals that auto-entrepreneurs have ambivalent feelings that betray the plan’s ambiguities. Does it support business creation (and entrepreneurship) or train to entrepreneurial labour? In the analysis of the respondents’ discourse and the accommodations they make, this article reveals the multiple uses and meanings of the auto-entrepreneur plan. They have created an identity for themselves and for others as they navigate through employment, activity, independence and professionalism. Three ideal-typical patterns of the young graduates’ social uses of the auto-entrepreneur plan are identified and discussed in this article: the ‘independent salaried’, the ‘entrepreneurial unemployed’ and the ‘convert entrepreneur’. This categorization helps understand the processes of what appears to be a conversion to entrepreneurial labour, prior entrepreneurship. Entering the workforce through the auto-entrepreneur plan promotes a learning and internalisation of different standards, those of the entrepreneurial labour (self-promotion, availability, self-learning, adaptation to market constraints, autonomy, accountability...) that result in accepting a high degree of insecurity and loss of rights. Faced with this entrepreneurial mandate, each young graduate reacts differently: rejection, adoption or conversion.
