Abstract
Requesters on crowdsourcing platforms typically exercise the power to decide the fate of tasks completed by crowd workers. Rejecting work has a direct impact on workers; (i) they may not be rewarded for the work completed and for their effort that has been exerted, and (ii) rejection affects worker reputation and may limit their access to future work opportunities. This paper presents a comprehensive study that aims to understand worker moods and how workers react to rejections in microtask crowdsourcing. We experimentally investigate the effect of the mood of workers on their performance, and the interaction of their moods with their reactions to rejection. Finally, we explore techniques such as presenting social comparative explanations to foster positive reactions to rejection. We found that workers in pleasant moods significantly outperform those in unpleasant moods. Workers whose work is rejected due to narrowly failing pre-screening tests exhibited the most negative emotional responses.
