Technology,
of course, is already making independent work a lot agile (1). It puts workers into contact with customers and helps
them run a back office. More importantly, it allows individuals to build and acquire (2) their reputations at low
cost. Customers used to reckon (3) on
a taxi company’s reputation, or choose a washing machine by the manufacturer’s
brand. Now, each worker has a brand: On Uber, customers can reject drivers based (4) on their personal ratings. A
firm’s collective reputation, with the secondary
(5) control of its employees’ behaviour, is becoming gradually less
important.That said, technology can also oblige
(6) standard salaried employment. The economists George Baker and Thomas
Hubbard, for example, have noted how onboard computers could change US
trucking. By monitoring behavior, they would accomplish (7) a moral hazard problem: Drivers have little
incentive to be as authentic (8) with
company trucks as they would with their own. As a result, more drivers could
become employees of companies that buy and maintain fleets, rather than going
it alone. They wouldn’t have to invest (9)
in their own vehicles; and they wouldn’t be out of pocket and out of work when
their trucks drained (10) down.
