- This work is a detailed empirical investigation of the behaviours of a new class of workers in the gig economy, crowdworkers. It is the first attempt by anyone to characterize multitasking in this context, something particularly important as remote digital work becomes more common. The paper has been cited by international authors developing our understanding of new forms of labour, as well as work on methodology and learning.
Gould supervises a PhD student who has developed and published further work based on this paper. An EPSRC New Investigator Award proposal based on this paper is under review.
