■論文タイトル
Sustainable Work Opportunities for Drivers' Well-Being: A Case of Careem as Transportation Network Company

■受賞対象となった研究の内容
This study examines the services provided by the transportation network company in a developing country from the drivers' perspective. This study is set up to investigate two substantial concerns: drivers' satisfaction and well-being. By adopting a purposeful sampling practice, twelve semi-structured interviews were conducted in Lahore, Pakistan. After analyzing the facts, several results are extracted, as motivation is the main factor for the drivers to join the company. The drivers are not the workers at all―they are the users of Careem technology services, Careem defines workers as working-class entrepreneurs instead of service providers only, and finally, Careem treats its drivers as customers by re-defining the role of workers and keeping safety measures for drivers. The created values for drivers because of working conditions beyond the algorithm are indeed the effective value propositions that help Careem to retain its drivers for the betterment of the company and society's well-being.
