| Online labor platforms like Uber and Deliveroo, are changing the nature of work as they drive a transition towards ‘crowdsourcing’, that is, the act of outsourcing a task to an undefined group of agents or crowdworkers. Surprisingly, the discipline most strongly associated with research on work(ers) – i.e. human resource management (HRM) – appears to be modestly interested in crowdsourcing. Furthermore, although growing, the body of crowdsourcing literature remains fragmented as crowdsourcing has been studied by scholars from different backgrounds that seem to limitedly interact (with HRM researchers). It is against this backdrop that this workshop aims to (1) bring together these scholars for building a community of crowdsourcing researchers and (2) develop a joint agenda on HRM & Crowdsourcing research. To this end, participants of this workshop will discuss questions for future research, explore theories for studying HRM & Crowdsourcing, and learn about methodologies for collaborating with online platform firms and dispersed crowdworkers. After a short introduction, we organize two interactive roundtable discussions which each are concluded with a presentation by experts from different fields of inquiry. We finalize the PDW with a presentation and question-and-answer session on how to access, communicate and collaborate with platform firms and crowdworkers. This workshop provides three deliverables to its participants: (1) a set of research questions for future HRM & crowdsourcing research, (2) an overview of potentially valuable theories and concepts that explain HRM & crowdsourcing phenomena, and (3) techniques for accessing online platform/crowdsourcing workers and studying online HRM activities. |
