The Impact of the Gig Economy, Freelance, and Mindfulness Regarding Human Resource Management

Abstract

This study analyzes the gig economy, freelancing, and mindfulness in relation to human resource management (HRM) practices. It examines the rise of flexible working models in organizations in response to new challenges in workforce management. In addition, the application of mindfulness concepts in the workplace is gaining attention as a strategy to improve employee well-being and performance. The research method used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) approach by analyzing the gig economy, freelance workers, and mindfulness on human resource management practices. The results show that the gig economy and freelance work models require changes in HR management policies to be more flexible and responsive to the needs of non-permanent workers. Meanwhile, integrating mindfulness into HR practices contributes to improving psychological well-being and work concentration. This research provides important implications for the development of modern HR management strategies that are capable of accommodating the dynamics of the labor market and increasing organizational competitiveness in the digital era. Thus, the recommendation in organizational policy is to make the gig economy, freelancing, and mindfulness in human resource management (HRM) practices more inclusive and sustainable. It emphasizes the importance of collaboration between organizations, the private sector, government, platforms, and individuals to find a balance between innovation.
