As a typical representative of a new type of employment group, gig workers have made important contributions to promoting the development of platform economy. However, compared with their contributions, gig workers face the problems of low level of equity resources and well-being. Based on the theory of resource caravan passageways, this study explores the effect of enterprise-union coupling relationship (EUCR) on work well-being of gig workers from two resource paths: basic labor rights and developmental labor rights. The results show that enterprise-union coupling relationship positively affects work well-being. On the one hand, EUCR enriches the basic equity resources such as labor safety, labor time, labor remuneration standards by promoting basic labor rights, and improves work well-being of gig workers. On the other hand, EUCR enriches the developmental equity resources such as the professional ability development, employee participation, and work autonomy by promoting developmental labor rights, and improves work well-being of gig workers.
