Abstract

Purpose – in the study the opportunities to utilise crowdsourcing as an instrument of personnel involvement are considered. The essence of personnel engagement is analysed; the terms “personnel engagement” and “personnel involvement” are compared. Research methodology – the case study of JSC “Sberbank”, the first Russian company that implemented internal crowdsourcing in its activity, is provided. Research limitations – the paper considers the case of a large financial company; it is impossible to conclude the applicability of technology in other cases. However, this experience can be recreated by almost any organisation that embraces thousands of workers in its structure Findings – personnel involvement is understood as a set of measures that forms employeesʼ abiding interest in solving organisational problems and an increased emotional attachment to the organisationʼs aims and values. The essence of crowdsourcing is defined, its implementation scheme is described, and the classification of crowdsourcing projects is developed. The authors highlight the advantages of the use of internal crowdsourcing, i.e. implemented through the efforts of the companyʼs staff, for the employees and the organisation itself. Practical implications – examples of the application of this technology for resolving organisational issues and involving personnel are offered. Originality/Value – the article studied the potential of using crowdsourcing in solving business issues.

Highlights

  • The scientific-technological progress leads to considerable shifts in the productivity of employees

  • At the second stage of the study, we analysed the changes already implemented by the crowdsourcing (What has been done?); we defined its goals in the Sberbank (What is the vision of the Sberbank?) and the steps to be taken (What has to be done in future?)

  • The present study considers 6 years covering 2012−2019 and starting with the beginning of use the crowdsourcing in the Sberbank in 2012, as well as the expected status of this technology in 2019
