However, food delivery employees had experienced a series of problems. For example, a common traffic accident might risk their lives by catching more orders. Thus, the thesis’ focus is on employees’ working experience in the case of Foodpanda. The study explores how Foodpanda is becoming a new business and work through survey and in-depth interview with Foodpanda employees. I have a major finding of this study. It shows a sense of relative autonomy argued by the employees who choose this work because it is a flexible job that is very suitable for people who do not want to be restricted by time.
