The innovation in platform-based employment models has exposed both the accuracy challenges and legitimacy deficiencies in the traditional criteria for defining employment relationships. Compared to categorical approaches, a purpose-driven approach is more effective in addressing the frequent disruption of typical employment relationship frameworks caused by new employment forms, as it eliminates employment “interference factors” while correcting judicial outcomes that deviate from legal objectives. While the Supreme People's Court and local courts have incorporated rudimentary purposive reasoning in individual cases, they lack a systematic justification for the fundamental question of “what is the purpose”. To address this issue, law and economics has attempted to delineate the boundary between employment and non-employment relationships through theories of transaction costs, hierarchical governance, and property rights, but the resulting control, organization, and risk allocation tests have limited applicability. The goal of labor law intervention should be to counteract the downward pressure imposed on wages and working conditions by the labor monopsony structure. Therefore, employment relationships should only encompass relational work while excluding discrete work. Personal and organizational subordination should be understood as the allocation of managerial direction beyond contractual specificity, while economic subordination should be interpreted as the allocation of profit attributed to managerial direction. |
