Abstract
Abstract Online microtask labor has increased its role in the last few years and has provided the possibility of people who were usually excluded from the labor market to work anytime and without geographical barriers. While this brings new opportunities for people to work remotely, it can also pose challenges regarding the difficulty of assigning tasks to workers according to their abilities. To this end, cognitive personalization can be used to assess the cognitive profile of each worker and subsequently match those workers to the most appropriate type of work that is available on the digital labor market. In this regard, we believe that the time is ripe for a review of the current state of research on cognitive personalization for digital labor. The present study was conducted by following the recommended guidelines for the software engineering domain through a systematic literature review that led to the analysis of 20 primary studies published from 2010 to 2020. The results report the application of several cognition theories derived from the field of psychology, which in turn revealed an apparent presence of studies indicating accurate levels of cognitive personalization in digital labor in addition to a potential increase in the worker’s performance, most frequently investigated in crowdsourcing settings. In view of this, the present essay seeks to contribute to the identification of several gaps and opportunities for future research in order to enhance the personalization of online labor, which has the potential of increasing both worker motivation and the quality of digital work.
期刊介绍:
User Modeling and User-Adapted Interaction provides an interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of novel and significant original research results about interactive computer systems that can adapt themselves to their users, and on the design, use, and evaluation of user models for adaptation. The journal publishes high-quality original papers from, e.g., the following areas: acquisition and formal representation of user models; conceptual models and user stereotypes for personalization; student modeling and adaptive learning; models of groups of users; user model driven personalised information discovery and retrieval; recommender systems; adaptive user interfaces and agents; adaptation for accessibility and inclusion; generic user modeling systems and tools; interoperability of user models; personalization in areas such as; affective computing; ubiquitous and mobile computing; language based interactions; multi-modal interactions; virtual and augmented reality; social media and the Web; human-robot interaction; behaviour change interventions; personalized applications in specific domains; privacy, accountability, and security of information for personalization; responsible adaptation: fairness, accountability, explainability, transparency and control; methods for the design and evaluation of user models and adaptive systems
