• Description:
  The purpose of this paper was to integrate the sleep science, occupational health, and organizational psychology literature to develop a conceptual model of driver sleep and fatigue in the gig economy. We develop an integrative framework, which proposes that aspects of the on-demand driving context influence driver sleep health and fatigue. Driver outcomes include safety incidents, injuries, health, job attitudes, interpersonal behavior, and performance. In addition, moderators, such as driver demographics and health conditions, can interact with aspects of the driver context. A number of practical implications are provided, addressing the ways in which occupational health researchers, online labor platform companies, and drivers can improve sleep health. This is the first paper to provide a broad understanding of how scientists, through both research and practice, can help improve sleep, a primary issue in the ridesharing industry.
