摘要

Algorithmic management (AM) restructures workplace authority by displacing human judgment in interpersonal, informational, and decisional roles through computational systems (Mintzberg). Using Fraser’s justice framework—redistribution, recognition, and representation—extended by temporal maldistribution, epistemic misrecognition, and scalar misframing, we identify multifaceted harms. Framed within Bodrožić and Adler’s cyclical technological transformation theory, we show how exogenous shocks accelerate disruptive “revolutionizing” phases, followed by “balancing” cycles of worker resistance and institutional reform. Our integrated conceptual model provides a roadmap for analyzing and addressing the structural injustices embedded in AM.
