EN
The growth of platform work globally and in Poland is the evidence of the changing nature of work. Mobile applications are one of the tools that drive this growth. Digitisation and digitalisation contributed to the fragmentation of a variety of jobs and their flexible distribution between different contractors. The universal use of mobile applications by platform workers attests to the efforts made by platforms to reduce average costs, but it may also be an indirect measure of the fragmentation of work. The article aims to demonstrate the popularity of mobile applications as platform work support tools. The conclusions are based on the findings of the author’s own diagnostic survey conducted on a representative sample of Polish residents. The sample allowed for the identification of those working via digital platforms so that their use of mobile phone applications could be analysed. The study showed, inter alia, that almost 60% of respondents performing platform mediated tasks always or very often used mobile applications.

Rozwój pracy platformowej na świecie i w Polsce jest jednym z dowodów na zmieniający się charakter pracy. Jednym z narzędzi napędzających jej rozwój są aplikacje mobilne. Digitalizacja i cyfryzacja umożliwiły fragmentację wielu prac i elastyczne rozdzielanie ich pomiędzy różnych wykonawców. Powszechność używania aplikacji mobilnych w pracy platformowej jest wyrazem dążenia platform do obniżenia przeciętnych kosztów, ale może być też pośrednią miarą fragmentacji pracy. Celem artykułu jest wykazanie popularności aplikacji mobilnych jako narzędzia wspomagającego pracę platformową. Wnioski sformułowano na podstawie wyników autorskiego sondażu diagnostycznego przeprowadzonego na reprezentatywnej próbie mieszkańców Polski, z której wyłoniono pracujących za pośrednictwem platform. Badanie wykazało m.in., że prawie 60% badanych wykonujących zadania koordynowane za pośrednictwem platform cyfrowych wykorzystywało zawsze lub bardzo często aplikacje mobilne.
