Driving the Emergence of Self-managed Enterprises of Crowdworkers: A Survey and Review of Motivating Factors
摘要
This paper explores the emergence of Self-Managed Enterprises of Crowdworkers (SMECs) as a new model in crowdsourcing, contrasting it with traditional platform-controlled models. It conducts a survey and literature review to identify the key factors driving this shift, focusing on power dynamics and tensions between Online Labor Platforms (OLPs) and crowdworkers. The study aims to provide insights for future research, policy development, and platform design, emphasizing the importance of fair labor practices in the context of SMECs.
