Abstract
This developmental paper presents initial findings from a narrative literature study on the digital ecosystem, gig workers, and the gig economy. Our analysis is based on 24 articles included in the narrative literature review. As a result, we propose a conceptual framework for the digital labour ecosystem, drawing on evidence from current digital ecosystems through a labour perspective. Furthermore, we identify seven key personal resources of gig workers. This paper provides a broader perspective on the digital ecosystem by examining workers' mechanisms. Our findings also highlight how these seven personal resources, specific to gig workers, differ from those of traditional employees.
