Description

What happens when machines become the tool bearers, using big data and people analytics to calculate human labor through metrics? The Quantified Self in Precarity explores the shift from humans using tools to machines measuring human performance. This Routledge Advances in Sociology title examines how digitalization impacts both insecure gig work and traditional office environments. Through unique research and empirical data, Moore demonstrates that digital monitoring is not an inevitable or beneficial process for all. The book investigates how workplace quantification contributes to high turnover rates, workplace rationalization, and increased levels of worker stress and anxiety. This study provides a necessary look at how modern metrics change the nature of employment and the well-being of the workforce in an increasingly data-driven world.
