“…This leads to an interest in higher-level organisations, such as cities or governments, where open governance in itself becomes the primary activities unit (Almirall, Lee, and Majchrzak 2014;Kube et al 2015;Mergel 2015). This research category implies linkages with individual or organisational-level attributes as well as with platform-based processes (Hilgers and Ihl 2010;Mergel and Desouza 2013).…”

(2017) The open innovation research landscape: established perspectives and emerging themes across different levels of analysis, Industry and Innovation, 24:1, 8-40, DOI: 10.1080/13662716.2016.1240068 To link to this article: https://doi.org/10. 1080/13662716.2016.1240068 Published online: 07 Nov 2016.Submit your article to this journal This paper provides an overview of the main perspectives and themes emerging in research on open innovation (OI). The paper is the result of a collaborative process among several OI scholarshaving a common basis in the recurrent Professional Development Workshop on 'Researching Open Innovation' at the Annual Meeting of the Academy of Management. In this paper, we present opportunities for future research on OI, organised at different levels of analysis. We discuss some of the contingencies at these different levels, and argue that future research needs to study OI -originally an organisationallevel phenomenon -across multiple levels of analysis. integrative framework allows comparing, contrasting and integrating various perspectives at different levels of analysis, further theorising will be needed to advance OI research. On this basis, we propose some new research categories as well as questions for future research -particularly those that span across research domains that have so far developed in isolation.

“…This refers to the fact that citizens are not obliged to participate, especially not through organizational bonds (social or legal) (Kube et al 2015;Schmidthuber and Hilgers 2017). Motivational reasons are usually considered as either intrinsic or extrinsic (Deci and Ryan 1985).…”

Exploring the Motives of Citizen Reporting Engagement: Self-Concern and Other-Orientation

In smart city contexts, voluntary citizen reporting can be a particularly valuable source of information for local authorities. A key question in this regard is what motivates citizens to contribute their data. Drawing on motivation research in social psychology, the paper examines the question of whether self-concern or otherorientation is a stronger driver of citizen reporting engagement. To test their hypotheses, the authors rely on a sample of users from the mobile application ''Zurich as good as new'' in Switzerland, which enables citizens to report damages in and other issues with the city's infrastructure. Data was collected from two different sources: motivation was assessed in an online user survey (n = 650), whereas citizen reporting engagement was measured by the number of reports per user from real platform-use data. The analysis was carried out using negative binomial regression. The findings suggest that both self-concern and other-orientation are significant drivers of citizen reporting engagement, although the effect of self-concern appears to be stronger in comparison. As such, this study contributes to a better understanding of what motivates citizens to participate in citizen reporting platforms, which are a cornerstone application in many smart cities.

“…For measuring individuals' motivation to interact with local government for the benefit of public service improvement, respondents were asked to which extent they agree to nine reasons for platform participation. These items (listed in Table 1) were drawn from prior research studying individuals' motivation to use a platform or collaborate with administration, e.g., [11,28,26,48,46,58].…”

“…Accordingly, we assume that citizens who invest time in reporting problems about public services are prosocially motivated when interacting with administration and citizen on government-led platforms. Studies on explaining participation on open-source [5,18,29,46,48] and voluntary engagement in online communities [4,26,60] found that feeling a personal obligation to contribute and altruistic attitudes are reasons for their active participation. Consequently, we thus assume that people who participate due to prosocial motivation are more active on the platform (Hypothesis 4).…”
