Abstract: Objective To explore the effects of perceptual algorithm control and occupational stigma perception on job burnout of the delivery riders,analyze the moderating role of self-efficacy on the relationship between perceived algorithmic control,occupational stigma perception and job burnout. Methods From January to March 2023,the food delivery riders from five sites of a food delivery platform in Taiyuan City were investigated by using the perception algorithm control scale,occupational stigma perception scale,self-efficacy scale and job burnout scale,and the data were analyzed. Results The scores of perception algorithm control scale,occupational stigma perception scale,self-efficacy scale and job burnout scale among 286 food delivery riders from five sites of a food delivery platform in Taiyuan City were （41.50±9.77）,（21.69±5.55）,（34.27±8.98） and （51.96±11.32）points,respectively. The perceived algorithm control,occupational stigma were positively correlated with job burnout（r=0.487,0.576,both P<0.01）,and self-efficacy was negatively correlated with job burnout（r=-0.204,P<0.01）. The self-efficacy played a significant moderating role in the relationship between perceived algorithm control and job burnout（β=-0.129,t=2.695,P<0.01）,and the self-efficacy had a significant moderating effect on the relationship between occupational stigma and job burnout（β=-0.095,t=2.085,P<0.05）. Conclusion The perceived algorithm control and occupational stigma perception of the food delivery riders from five sites of a food delivery platform in Taiyuan City positively affect job burnout,and self-efficacy plays a negative moderating role in perceived algorithm control,occupational stigma and job burnout.
