Call for Paper:
Minitrack: Crowdsourcing and Digital Workforce in the Gig Economy
Track: Internet and the Digital Economy
56th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-56)
January 3-6, 2023. Maui, Hawaii, USA
Fast track journal publication opportunity:
Papers presented at this HICSS-56 minitrack will be invited to
extend and be fast tracked to the Journal of Organizational
Computing and Electronic Commerce (JOCEC) and the Data Base for
Advances in Information Systems.
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. During the past decade,
scholars from different disciplines have paid increasing attention
to examine the design and development of crowd-based platforms and
the intelligence and innovation arising from crowdsourced contests
and competitions. 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, work conditions, and its
institutional, regulatory and societal impacts.
This minitrack is positioned to address diversity, equity, and
inclusion (DEI) issues in the technology-enabled and mediated
crowdsourcing work environments. We call for research that
critically examines the current work conditions and policies on
the digital platforms and propose new work processes, platform
designs and policies to enhance the digital work environments and
foster social inclusion and equity.
Finally, it’s important for both academia and industry to better
understand the impact of the-ongoing global coronavirus (COVID-19)
pandemic on work and workforce participating in both remote and
place-based gig work. In the long term, technological developments
at the intersection of crowdsourcing, gig work platforms and AI
can potentially shape work at different levels. Research on the
future of work and the essential skills and abilities of the
future workforce will update our knowledge and broaden our visions
about the next generation of workforce.
Potential issues and topics include, but are not limited to:
-Diversity, equity, and inclusion in crowdsourcing work
environments
-Employment relations in online labor platforms
-Ethical issues in the gig labor market and managing the gig
workforce
-Gig work and workers in the times of COVID-19
-Gig work risk, worker behavior and performance
-Gig workers’ participation, motivation and work-life balance
-Gig work conditions
-Global workforce in crowdsourcing and gig economy
-Information technology and gig work
-Integrating gig work into the remote workforce
-Labor agency in the gig labor market
-Online communities of gig workers
-Organizational and regulatory challenges in the gig economy
-Psychological aspects of digital platforms on workers (e.g.,
Technostress, Well-being)
-Regulatory oversight of gig work platforms and labor market
-Skill development and career pathways of gig workforce
-Technology advancement, AI and future of work
