Abstract

Identifying the factors that motivate individuals to engage in online community activities is essential for fostering sustained participation and enabling contributors to collaboratively address complex tasks. Individuals possess diverse experiences and perspectives, and it is essential to integrate these contributions in a structured and efficient manner to foster creativity and innovation in problem-solving. Therefore, we investigate the impacts of various factors—such as intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, demographic characteristics (e.g., age, gender, profession), and platform-related elements (e.g., reward systems, feedback mechanisms, user interaction—on crowd participation in both crowdsourcing and crowdfunding platforms through a bibliometric analysis of the relevant literature. This systematic literature review not only contributes to the academic understanding of the field but also serves as a reference for key stakeholders such as platform managers, investors, entrepreneurs, and innovators.

Özet

Hangi faktörlerin insanları çevrimiçi topluluk faaliyetlerine katılmaya motive ettiğini bilmek, kitle bilgeliğinin gelişimini ve karmaşık görevleri tamamlamak için sürekli katılımı sürdürmek için esastır. Her insanın farklı deneyimleri ve içgörüleri vardır ve her zihni doğru ve etkili bir şekilde birleştirerek, yaratıcılığı ve yeniliği teşvik ederek karmaşık işler için çözümler bulmak çok önemlidir. Bu nedenle, ilgili literatürün kapsamlı bir incelemesi ve analizi yoluyla hem kitle kaynak kullanımı hem de kitle fonlama platformlarındaki kitle katılımı üzerindeki farklı faktörlerin etkilerini araştırıyoruz. Kitle kaynak kullanımı ve kitle fonlama platformlarının katılımını etkileyen çeşitli faktörler hakkındaki bu sistematik literatür incelemesi, yalnızca bilimsel çalışmalara ışık tutmakla kalmıyor, aynı zamanda bu platformlardaki farklı paydaşlar için bir referans kaynağı görevi görüyor.
