This research aimed to analyze the effects of income uncertainty and time pressure on work-related stress among Gojek drivers in Bandung. This study employed a quantitative approach with an explanatory research design. The research sample consisted of 140 Gojek drivers in Bandung City selected using an accidental sampling technique. Primary data were collected through a five-point Likert-scale questionnaire, while secondary data were obtained from company reports, official publications, and previous studies. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling–Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) with the assistance of SmartPLS. The results indicated that all measurement indicators met the required validity and reliability criteria. Income uncertainty had a positive and significant effect on work-related stress, with a path coefficient of 0.424, a t-statistic of 6.206, and a p-value of 0.000. Time pressure also had a positive and significant effect on work-related stress, with a path coefficient of 0.335, a t-statistic of 4.363, and a p-value of 0.000. Simultaneously, income uncertainty and time pressure explained 36.8% of the variance in work-related stress. These findings indicate that income instability and occupational pressure are significant factors contributing to increased work-related stress among Gojek drivers. This research implies that digital platforms need to consider incentive policies, work system improvements, and measures to protect the psychological well-being of driver-partners.]]>
