Abstract

This study was intended to explain how disruptive innovation, that is, online transportation affected the employment status and income of migrants and non-migrants in the City of Palembang. It employed a quantitative descriptive approach and acquired the data through surveys, with a sample size of 384 respondents working in a mobility service provider, GoJek. Then, the collected data were processed in a statistical analysis tool, SPSS 23, using the feature Cross Tabulation. The results showed that online transportation provided an opportunity for both unemployed and already employed populations. Also, it attracted migrants and non-migrants to either quit or keep their first jobs in formal and informal sectors and work as online motorcycle taxi drivers. Relatively high income enticed many of them into earning a living solely from online transportation. However, some chose to undertake another job to receive additional income and, expectedly, improve their welfare and life standard.
