MTurk Research: Review and Recommendations
回顾了管理研究中亚马逊Mechanical Turk的使用增长(2012年6篇到2019年133篇),分析了学者对其数据有效性的质疑,并提出了提高研究稳健性和可信度的最佳实践建议。
The use of Amazon’s Mechanical Turk (MTurk) in management research has increased over 2,117% in recent years, from 6 papers in 2012 to 133 in 2019. Among scholars, though, there is a mixture of excitement about the practical and logistical benefits of using MTurk and skepticism about the validity of the data. Given that the practice is rapidly increasing but scholarly opinions diverge, the Journal of Management commissioned this review and consideration of best practices. We hope the recommendations provided here will serve as a catalyst for more robust, reproducible, and trustworthy MTurk-based research in management and related fields.
