How can the Relationship be a Motivator? : A qualitative study of Motivation towards Crowdsourcing

Karlsson, Malin, Martinsson, Åsa January 2014 (has links)
Background: Successful crowdsourcing cannot be accomplished without a motivated community of participants. Hence, organisations need to use incentives that motivate the crowd to participate in crowdsourcing processes. Further, maintaining a working relationship between the organisation and the crowd throughout the duration of a project is a challenge with crowdsourcing. Thus, it creates difficulties in monitoring the quality of the outcome, which is the motivator for the organisation. However, previous studies have not covered the area of how the relationship between the organisation and the crowd influence their motivation. Purpose: Describe how motivation is influenced by the relationship between an organisation and the crowd in a crowdsourcing process.  Research questions: RQ1: How do an organisation and a crowd describe the relationship during the crowdsourcing process? RQ2: How do an organisation and a crowd describe their motivation during the crowdsourcing process? RQ3: How do the relationship between an organisation and a crowd influence motivation during the crowdsourcing process? Methodology: A single embedded case study, semi-structured interviews Conclusion: It is highly important that a company and a crowd have a good relationship in crowdsourcing, because it goes hand in hand with having a high motivation. It ought to be hard to state which term that influences the other, if it is the relationship that influences the motivation or if it is the motivation that influences the relationship. Thus, the result of this thesis explains that the relation between them is dynamic.

Crowdsourcing i små företag : En kvalitativ studie om hur små företag upplever och arbetar med crowdsourcing / Crowdsourcing in small enterprises : A qualitative study on how small enterprises experience and use crowdsourcing

Wallenborg Björk, Amanda, Weinheimer, Hanna January 2023 (has links)
Bakgrund: En globaliserad värld och ny teknik har gett företag fler möjligheter att få tillgång till arbetskraft och kompetens. Crowdsourcing kan användas av företag för att anlita egenställda frilansare via digitala plattformar på ett flexibelt och kostnadseffektivt sätt. För små företag som kännetecknas av att ha begränsade resurser av kapital, arbetskraft och kompetens kan crowdsourcing vara en lösning för att överleva i en ständigt föränderlig värld och samtidigt skapa konkurrenskraft på marknaden. Syfte och Metod: Syftet med denna studie är att öka förståelsen för de möjligheter och utmaningar små företag i svensk kontext har med crowdsourcing. För att uppnå syftet genomförs studien med en kvalitativ metod uppbyggd av åtta semistrukturerade intervjuer. Teoretisk referensram: Den teoretiska referensramen består av en beskrivning av hur processen går till när företag arbetar med crowdsourcing, ett ramverk med faktorer företag tar hänsyn till vid beslutet att arbeta med crowdsourcing samt vilka möjligheter och utmaningar små företag i andra kontexter upplever att crowdsourcing medför. Resultat och slutsats: Studien visar att små företag i svensk kontext finner en rad olika möjligheter och utmaningar med crowdsourcing där rykte som utmaning är ett bidrag till forskningen från den svenska kontexten. Dessa möjligheter och utmaningar har en stark koppling till beslutsfaktorer som påverkar små företags beslut att arbeta med crowdsourcing genom att de tar hänsyn till och arbetar med de utmaningar som finns för att kunna dra nytta av de möjligheter som finns med att arbeta med crowdsourcing. De möjligheter som finns värderas därmed högre vid beslut att arbeta med crowdsourcing än de utmaningar som små företag måste hantera. / Background: A globalized world and new technologies have given enterprises more opportunities to access labour and skills. Crowdsourcing can be used by enterprises to hire self-employed freelancers via digital platforms in a flexible and cost-effective way. For small businesses that are characterized by limited resources of capital, labour, skills, crowdsourcing can be a solution to survive in an ever-changing world while remaining competitive in the market.  Purpose and method: The purpose of this study is to increase the understanding of the opportunities and challenges small enterprises in the Swedish context have with crowdsourcing. The study is conducted using a qualitative method composed of eight semi structured interviews.  Theoretical frame of reference: The theoretical frame of reference consists of a description of the process of crowdsourcing, a framework of factors that companies take into account when deciding to crowdsource, and the opportunities and challenges that small companies in other contexts experience with crowdsourcing.  Results and conclusion: The study shows that small enterprises in the Swedish context find a variety of opportunities and challenges with crowdsourcing where reputation as a challenge is a contribution to the research from the Swedish context. These opportunities and challenges are strongly linked to decision-making factors that influence small enterprises decision to work with crowdsourcing, by taking into account and working with the challenges that exist in order to take advantage of the opportunities that exist in working with crowdsourcing. The opportunities that exist are valued more highly when deciding to work with crowdsourcing than the challenges that small businesses must deal with.
