新型冠状病毒疫情极大地影响了劳动力市场，并引发了大萧条。基于对199名不稳定和零工工人的混合方法小组研究，我们分析了新冠肺炎疫情期间对空闲时间的改变如何导致低薪服务业工人寻求更充实的职业。虽然大多数员工最初认为空闲时间是机会成本，但他们后来重新将这段时间视为对个人成长的投资，从“花时间”赚钱转变为“投资时间”。这种时间经验的转变是通过采用“工作激情”逻辑和“流行性顿悟”来表达的，这些逻辑和顿悟促使受访者寻求自我肯定和可能更有利可图的工作机会。
The Covid-19 pandemic has greatly impacted the labor market and given rise to the Great Resignation. Drawing on a mixed methods panel study of 199 precarious and gig-based workers, we analyze how a changing conception of free time during the Covid-19 pandemic led low-wage service workers to seek more fulfilling careers. Whereas most workers initially perceived free time in terms of opportunity costs, they later reconceived this time as enabling an investment in personal growth, moving from “spending time” making money to “investing time” in themselves. This shift in temporal experience is expressed through the adoption of a “work passion” logic and “pandemic epiphanies” that motivated respondents to seek self-affirming and potentially more lucrative work opportunities.
