SUBORDINATION VS AUTONOMISATION AND THEIR BOUNDARIES IN TERMS OF DIGITAL LABOUR

ABSTRACT /

Changes in the social-economic model in the capitalist production system in terms of ensuring greater sustainability, which further resulted in the actualization and promotion of sustainable development goals at the international level inevitably required redefinition of the traditional employment relationship model. The phenomenon of globalization and digitalization of production stands out, which, consequently, leads to the so-called „Globo digitalization“ of work, and impacts the necessity of establishing a novel, improved conceptual framework for traditional labour institutes.

By analysing the theoretical and conceptual framework of the traditionally defined model of work, i.e., the traditional work relationship, with a focus on the element of subordination often highlighted in the literature as particularly controversial in the circumstances of accelerated digitization, the paper tries to critically analyse the elements of the modern, so-called digital employment relationship. In addition, considering German legislation in this field, the paper aims to determine the theoretical shortcomings, as well as the gaps in comparative and domestic law, by contributing to the ongoing scholarly debate on the impact of digitalization on employment relationships.
