Abstract

Crowdsourcing emerged with the development of Web 2.0 technologies as a distributed online practice that harnesses the collective aptitudes and skills of the crowd in order to reach specific goals. The success of crowdsourcing systems is influenced by the users’ levels of participation and interactions on the platform. Therefore, there is a need for the incorporation of appropriate incentive mechanisms that would lead to sustained user engagement and quality contributions. Accordingly, the aim of the particular paper is threefold: first, to provide an overview of user motives and incentives, second, to present the corresponding incentive mechanisms used to trigger these motives, alongside with some indicative examples of successful crowdsourcing platforms that incorporate these incentive mechanisms, and third, to provide recommendations on their careful design in order to cater to the context and goal of the platform.
