Fast track journal publication opportunity: Authors of accepted papers to the Minitrack will be offered an opportunity to submit their extended versions for consideration for fast-track publication in: -- Journal of Organizational Computing and Electronic Commerce (JOCEC) Special Issue on Crowdsourcing and Gig Economy https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/10919392.2021.1889212

Scope 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 calls for research on the following three critical aspects of crowdsourcing and gig work, including (1) work conditions for crowd workers, (2) the impact of crowdsourcing and gig work, and (3) information technology and gig work. Potential issues and topics on crowdsourcing and digital workforce include, but are not limited to: * Employment relations in the gig economy * 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 * 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
