Rethinking the concept of the "employee" in the age of digitalisation : A new relationship - between work and legal protection
U. Mückenberger. Forschungsförderung Working Paper, 113. Hans-Böckler-Stiftung, Düsseldorf, (December 2018)
Abstract
This paper aims to adopt the perspective of employers, trade unions and society at large in examining ways in which the status of "employee" might change in a service and knowledge society. The traditional concept of the "employee" is rooted in the capitalist industrial society-and this type of society, owing to the forces of globalisation and digitalisation, is no longer predominant.The point of departure is a critique of the core criterion of the prevailing concept of the employee: personal dependency. What we need is an up-to-date vision of both employees, within the dynamic nature and growing diversity of work in the digital age, and social protection not based on employment, but for workers as citizens.
