Abstract

The rise in unemployment, digitization, and the flexibility of gig workers have propelled the growth of Malaysia's gig economy. However, the well-being and occupational satisfaction of gig workers can be impacted by social and financial security concerns. This study looks at the well-being of Malaysian gig workers through the role of occupational satisfaction as a mediator, while social and financial security as independent variables. The results of a structured survey administered between November 2023 and February 2024 to 135 gig workers indicate that the well-being of Malaysian gig workers is rather low. This study found that occupational satisfaction acted as a mediator in the relationship between social and financial security and gig workers' well-being. These results highlight how important it is to have both social and financial stability to enhance employee occupational satisfaction and thus, improve gig workers’ well-being.
