The impact of workers’ skills on the quality of work in crowdsourcing environments : a laboratory study
Crowdsourcing is a type of participative online activity in which an individual proposes to a group of individuals of varying knowledge, heterogeneity, and number, the voluntary undertaking of a task. Even though the application of crowdsourcing services has been increased dramatically over the year...

Even though the application of crowdsourcing services has been increased dramatically over the years, one traditional problem that exist is the relatively low quality of labor recieved by users. This is mainly because more and more workers - mostly from developing countries - guided through their money incentives, take on tasks that fail to carry out or poorly process them. In this dissertation, we aim to examine which characteristics of workers, and especially which skills, affect (and to what degree) the quality of work in a crowdsourcing environment. Με τον όρο «πληθοπορισμός» (crowdsourcing) ορίζεται η διαδικασία ανάθεσης μίας εργασίας σε ένα εξωτερικό, ανώνυμο πλήθος ατόμων μέσω ανοικτής πρόσκλησης. Αν και η χρήση υπηρεσιών πληθοπορισμού έχει αυξηθεί ραγδαία τα τελευταία χρόνια, ένα παραδοσιακό πρόβλημα που ακόμη αντιμετωπίζουν τέτοιου είδους υπηρεσίες είναι η σχετικά χαμηλή ποιότητα της εργασίας που λαμβάνουν οι χρήστες. Αυτό οφείλεται στο γεγονός ότι αρκετοί εργάτες - κυρίως από αναπτυσσόμενες χώρες - έχοντας ως κίνητρο το χρηματικό ποσό, δέχονται εργασίες τις οποίες είτε δεν μπορούν να ολοκληρώσουν είτε τις εκτελούν πλημμελώς. Στόχος της διπλωματικής αυτής εργασίας είναι να μελετήσει ποια χαρακτηριστικά εργατών, και ειδικότερα ποιες δεξιότητες, έχουν επίδραση -και ποια- στην ποιότητα εργασίας που υποβάλλεται σε περιβάλλοντα πληθοπορισμού. 2018-01-04T08:17:53Z 2018-01-04T08:17:53Z 2017-09-21 Thesis http://hdl.handle.net/10889/10895 en 0 application/pdf |

Crowdsourcing is a type of participative online activity in which an individual proposes to a group of individuals of varying knowledge, heterogeneity, and number, the voluntary undertaking of a task.

This is mainly because more and more workers - mostly from developing countries - guided through their money incentives, take on tasks that fail to carry out or poorly process them. In this dissertation, we aim to examine which characteristics of workers, and especially which skills, affect (and to what degree) the quality of work in a crowdsourcing environment. |
