[AISWorld] CFP-Crowdsourcing and Digital Workforce in the Gig
Economy Minitrack @HICSS 2021
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences- HICSS-54
(January 5-8, 2021, Hyatt Kauai, Hawaii)
Mini-track: Crowdsourcing and Digital Workforce in the Gig Economy
Track: Internet and the Digital Economy
Scope
Crowdsourcing is the practice of obtaining needed services and
content by soliciting voluntary contributions in the form of an
open call from a large network of individuals rather than from an
organization's employees or suppliers. For organizations,
crowdsourcing provides an online marketplace, such as Amazon
Mechanical Turk and Clickworker, to tap into the labor and
intelligence of the crowd.
Studies on the technical systems and collective intelligence are
informative, but our understanding of the crowdsourcing phenomenon
cannot be complete without a comprehensive understanding of the
crowd itself, the work made available on the digital platform, and
its institutional, regulatory and societal impacts. Thus, this
minitrack calls for research on the following three critical
aspects of crowdsourcing:
Topics

include, but are not limited to:
*Crowd worker participation and motivation

but are not limited to:
