众包是一种新兴的基于Web2.0的现象，多年来引起了实践者和学者的极大关注。它可以促进人员、组织和社会之间的连接和协作。我们相信，信息系统学者处于独特的地位，可以为这一新兴的研究领域做出重大贡献，并将其视为一个新的研究前沿。然而，到目前为止，很少有研究详细阐述已经取得的成就和应该做的事情。本文从理论基础、研究方法和研究重点三个方面对众包研究的底蕴进行了批判性的考察，并从参与者、组织和系统三个角度指出了信息系统学者值得进一步研究的几个重要研究方向。这项研究对信息系统文献做出了贡献，并为研究人员、设计师、政策制定者和管理人员更好地理解众包系统和项目中的各种问题提供了见解。
Crowdsourcing is one of the emerging Web 2.0 based phenomenon and has attracted great attention from both practitioners and scholars over the years. It can facilitate the connectivity and collaboration of people, organizations, and societies. We believe that Information Systems scholars are in a unique position to make significant contributions to this emerging research area and consider it as a new research frontier. However, so far, few studies have elaborated what have been achieved and what should be done. This paper seeks to present a critical examination of the substrate of crowdsourcing research by surveying the landscape of existing studies, including theoretical foundations, research methods, and research foci, and identifies several important research directions for IS scholars from three perspectives—the participant, organization, and system—and which warrant further study. This research contributes to the IS literature and provides insights for researchers, designers, policy-makers, and managers to better understand various issues in crowdsourcing systems and projects.
