“…Social interaction and community membership were found to increase participation (Brabham, 2008(Brabham, , 2010Budhathoki and Haythornthwaite, 2013;Girdauskiene et al, 2015;Hajiamiri and Korku, 2015). Moreover, in mobile crowdsourcing they are also connected with the most active participants (Budhathoki and Haythornthwaite, 2013;Liu et al, 2012).…”

“…Designing the call for participation and orchestrating the activity: Following planning, a project announces an open call for participation. A precise description with timeline, requirements and expected goal makes it easy for an individual to assess whether they are interested and suitable for the project (Bush and Balven, 2018;Girdauskiene et al, 2015;Niu et al, 2019;Tokarchuk et al, 2012). At the same time, incentives should be realistic and IP policy needs to be stated clearly to indicate that the participants' effort will be valued and not misused (Franke et al, 2013;Hanine and Steils, 2019;Zogaj et al, 2014).…”

“…One major form of motivation is financial compensation. The presence of a monetary reward is indeed considered important for drawing high participation (Brabham, 2008;Chit et al, 2017;Deng et al, 2016;Girdauskiene et al, 2015;Lee et al, 2015). This importance appears especially compelling for the less motivated users (Liu et al, 2012;Ren et al, 2019).…”

“…Nevertheless, participants motivated by learning were not found to submit more innovative solutions (Mack and Landau, 2015). Peer recognition has also been found to increase participation, as it offers individuals personal satisfaction and helps to find new professional opportunities (Brabham, 2008;Budhathoki and Haythornthwaite, 2013;Girdauskiene et al, 2015;Lee et al, 2015;Taylor and Joshi, 2019). The flexible working conditions were identified as important motivators as they provide greater working autonomy and independence (Acar, 2019;Deng et al, 2016;Lee et al, 2015;Taylor and Joshi, 2019).…”

“…Altruism can also mobilise participation (Aitamurto, 2015;Cappa et al, 2019a, b;Girdauskiene et al, 2015;Solemon and Bakar, 2018;Tokarchuk et al, 2012). The fulfilment of working for a higher purpose, the idea of improving the society or reducing a societal problem motivates individuals to contribute (Aitamurto and Saldivar, 2017;Cappa et al, 2019a, b;Girdauskiene et al, 2015). On the other hand, though, supporting a crowdfunding campaign with a social orientation does not seem to influence the funders' decision (Motylska-Kuzma, 2018).…”

PurposeThis study is a systematic literature review of crowdsourcing that aims to present the research evidence so far regarding the extent to which it can contribute to organisational performance and produce innovations and provide insights on how organisations can operationalise it successfully.Design/methodology/approachThe systematic literature review revolved around a text mining methodology analysing 106 papers.FindingsThe themes identified are performance, innovation, operational aspects and motivations. The review revealed a few potential directions for future research in each of the themes considered.Practical implicationsThis study helps researchers to consider the recent themes on crowdsourcing and identify potential areas for research. At the same time, it provides practitioners with an understanding of the usefulness and process of crowdsourcing and insights on what the critical elements are in order to organise a successful crowdsourcing project.Originality/valueThis study employed quantitative content analysis in order to identify the main research themes with higher reliability and validity. It is also the first review on crowdsourcing that incorporates the relevant literature on crowdfunding as a value-creation tool.

Purpose This paper aims to identify challenges and opportunities for social enterprises (SE) in civil engineering in Brazil. Design/methodology/approach Starting from the transformative social innovation theory and inspired by grounded theory principles, this paper conducts three-stage exploratory research. First, this paper mapped the Brazilian SE civil engineering ecosystem. Next, this paper classified the SE initiatives along with an organizing framework. Finally, this paper conducted 11 interviews with key ecosystem actors and analyzed data through iterative, parallel and interrelated content analysis procedures. Findings The 37 SE found were classified along “Sustainability,” “Housing,” “Transportation” and “Sanitation” pillars, which are aligned with the United Nations’ social development goals. This paper found 50 challenges and opportunities, which were aggregated along seven dimensions. Three elements are particularly relevant as opportunities: opportunities for SE with ecosystem supporters, specialized investors and partnership with major companies; while government and early investment are the most relevant challenges. Research limitations/implications Research findings and conclusions cannot be extended to other sectors and countries. Usual limitations associated with exploratory qualitative research must also be highlighted. Practical implications The government should offer financial and technical support for civil engineering in working in partnership with ecosystem supporters. Academy could use SE content and ecosystem for its students and should offer diverse resources for network creation. Originality/value Focusing on civil engineering SE in Brazil, this study sheds light on a high-impact sector that has not been studied yet.
