Abstract

Although sharing economy is believed to lead to various impacts, few studies attempted to analyse the welfare impact of sharing-based services particularly in the context of emerging economies. This study, therefore, aims to investigate the impacts of sharing-based transportation services in Indonesia towards behaviour and welfare of the workers. The impacts are framed by using the Maqasid Shariah perspective, in which the welfare changes are analysed from religious (din), economic (maal), health (nafs), education ('aql), and family (nasl) dimensions. Further, to achieve the objective, the study collected relevant primary data from 103 drivers-partners of GO-JEK and Grab, which are the main providers of sharing-based transportation services in the country. The primary data are then analyzed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The survey results suggest that the new economic platforms have enabled increase of welfare in every dimensions of the Maqasid Shariah. The highest impacts are felt in religious and economic dimensions, while the smallest impact is found in health dimension. Overall, the findings are expected to provide more insights regarding the nature and impacts of sharing-based economy, particularly in the transportation services in Indonesia, and trigger more productive future discussions on sharing economy
