Abstract

Finding creative solutions to large-scale and complex problems, such as societal challenges, is often hard. Crowdsourcing has emerged as a valuable tool for such challenges, using diverse perspectives from general society to enhance creative problem-solving. The componential theory of creativity highlights creativity-related processes and domain knowledge as key components of creative output. Drawing from this theory, we examine how creativity support architectures and levels of task-knowledge intensity influence crowd creativity in crowdsourcing contexts.
