This project is commissioned by DREES, research and statistical office of the French Ministry for Solidarities and Healthcare, Ministère des Solidarités et de la Santé.

The principles of collaborative economies elaborate on new rationales for working practices. This 24m long research project aims at better understanding these principles in reference to open innovation laboratories and collaborative spaces. The project will most notably focus on available economic, symbolic and sociological resources, and on the subsequent impacts on the stakeholders' sense of "protection".

The originality of the project sheds light on "social protection" throught the lenses of collaborative spaces, most notably coworking spaces.
How and When do these spaces become platforms for some social engineering to provide a new working environment for the contributors to digital economies, and not solely genuine open spaces for rent? How do the spaces contribute to articulate together some "social protection"?

The project investigates economic and organizational models used in collaborative economies, and their impact on the job market, and on working conditions. The project also analyses roles and statuses for the workers present in collaborative economies, and their need for social protection. The project addresses 3 aspects of social protection: the legal, sociological and physiological dimensions. The project also articulates these aspects with an analysis of the "dark side" of IT, most notably the impact of 24/7 connectivity on social, personal and professional lives.

Contributions

Collaborative represent a new and complex phenomenon. The originality of our approach locates in the focus on the organizations framing such collaboration, and the associated stakholders. This focus on microfoundations makes it possible to understand motivations, decisions, processes, and institutional patterns. Therefore a better understanding of future trends and tendencies. Organizational patterns and ways of working differ from traditional (private and public) organizations. Startuppers, freelancers and coworkers have to better understand how to cope with this new environement to make better decisions, incl. for their own protection.

We have several contributions with this project:

  • We explore symbolic and sociological resources of firms present in collaborative economies;
  • We unveil practices, networks and communities in residence in collaborative spaces;
  • We explore business models and the sustainability of collaborative spaces, key stakeholders and representativity;
  • We identify good practices to cope with the complexity of hybrid (business versus social business) business models;
  • We identify and discuss issues at stake for quality of life and health in relation with connectivity and deconnection.

 

Work packages, activities

The kick-off of the project took place in Jan. 2019, for a project duration of 24 months.
The project articulates with three work pacakges for the project.

  • WP1: Individual statuses and perceptions of social protection for residents of innovation spaces and promoters of startups in the field of collaborative economics
  • WP2: Activities and work practices in spaces providing access to social protection
  • WP3: Adaptation and transformation of innovation spaces to cope with entrepreneurial psychological weaknesses.

RGCS network

LRGCS is both an alternative learned society, a think tank and an immaterial maker space about and for new work practices. Collaborative communities and collaborative movements (coworkers, makers, hackers, DIY) are both a research object and a lever to transform work practices. Since late 2016, the network co-produces a new research method (Open Walked Event-Based Experimentations) aiming at transforming jointly academic and entrepreneurial work practices. This method aims at becoming a #commons for academics and entrepreneurs involved in it (e.g. with a sharing of the symbolic capital of impact and citations).
