作者：
Highlights：
• We identify six key mechanisms of platform-enabled work, namely self-employment, time management, income, information control, pricing, and rating.
• From workers’ perspective, flexibility in work relationships is a key positive element of platform-enabled work.
• The stark power disparity between workers and the platform is, in turn, a major source of discontent among workers.
• We put forward two key dimensions of work relations in the context of platform-enabled work: digital temporality and digital administrativity.
• We identify six key mechanisms of platform-enabled work: self-employment, time management, income, information control, pricing, and rating.
