Citations in the corpus
- Carrots and Rainbows: Motivation and Social Practice in Open Source Software Development (2012, background): “Oreg and Nov 2008 Survey of 185 SourceForge users and 115 Wikipedia participants investigating individual motivation.”
- Sharing for people, planet or profit? Analysing motivations for intended sharing economy participation (2017, positive): “This approach is similar to the interactionist approach on motivations as employed by Oreg and Nov (2008), in which both personal (in our case socio-demographics) and context (in our case sector and role) variables are linked to motivations.”
- The sharing economy: Why people participate in collaborative consumption (2016, background): “Also, open source software development and participation in peer production (e.g., Wikipedia) are driven by altruistic motives such as openness and freedom of information as argued by Nov (2007) as well as Oreg and Nov (2008).”
