Máquina de fazer motoristas : a formação de condutas no cotidiano de trabalho dos motoristas de aplicativo

Abstract

The present work aims to analyze the process of conduct formation in the daily work of a group of app drivers operating in the state of Minas Gerais. In order to do so, I carried out a bibliographical review concerned with the developments of this dilemma in the last decades of the history of capitalism, a period that encompasses fordism, post-Fordism and platform capitalism. Having done this, and using a methodology guided by the principles of grounded theory, I conducted the analysis of 25 interviews carried out with app drivers in the state of Minas Gerais. The results of this analytical process, crystallized in a series of interrelated categories, point out to the existence of a process of involvement by work, which, produced by the tools of organization, distribution and control of work orchestrated by individual private transport platforms, fulfills of content the everyday practices of the workforce in question.
