In this research symposium presented at the Society for Industrial & Organizational Psychology Conference, researchers come together to explore gig workers’ outcomes and wellbeing. Our team’s research study contributes to the discussion. We studied gig workers from platforms such as Uber, Task Rabbit, and Doordash to better understand the impact of sleep trouble on their wellbeing and deviance.
