PhD defence: Elham Shafiei Gol
Crowdwork is a sociotechnical phenomenon that has the capacity to transform the way in which work is organized and contributes to an organization’s value. Crowdwork contributes to innovation, augments strategic competitive advantage, and reduces costs of labor by providing organizations with flexible access to a substantial pool of skillful workers who can be hired on a temporary basis. This thesis contributes to a better understanding of the crowdwork phenomenon by identifying and describing three different crowdwork arrangements that add value to job providers: the platform-centric arrangement, actor-centric arrangement, and organization-centric arrangement. Eliciting these arrangements advances the theoretical and practical knowledge on governance frameworks of work organization of creative crowdwork and how they add value for job providers and, in particular, large organizations.
