“…In donation-based platforms, success depends on engaging backers based on the emotional value of their projects ( Rhue et al, 2018 ) and on the use of social networks for rapid dissemination ( Korolov et al, 2016 ). Their usual focus is altruistic projects such as communities, musicians, filmmakers, and artists ( Ribeiro-Navarrete et al, 2021a ). This model makes it possible to raise funds in response to financial difficulties and medical and natural disasters ( Saleh et al, 2020 ).…”

“…In their exploratory survey of 309 crowdfunding backers, Bretschneider and Leimeister concluded that research on backers' motivations was “at an embryonic stage and understanding of the motivation for participation in incentive-based crowdfunding is incomplete” (2017, p. 11). Ribeiro-Navarrete et al (2021) identified a lack of literature on the importance of communication as a factor for backer satisfaction. Li and Wang (2019) found that the current evidence in the literature on backer motivations was based on self-reported survey data and showed inconsistent findings.…”

PurposeThis study furthers one’s understanding of the motivations of the crowdfunding crowd by empirically examining critical factors that influence the crowd's decision to support a crowdfunding project.Design/methodology/approachBacker's comments from a sample of the top 100 most funded technology product projects on KickStarter were collected. A latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) analysis strategy was adopted to investigate critical motivational factors. Three experts mapped those factors to the known theoretical constructs of social exchange theory (SET).FindingsAlthough backers are motivated by value, they are also motivated by far less tangible social factors including trust and a feeling of psychological ownership. Findings suggest that the crowd is far more than a passive group of investors or customers and should be viewed as participatory stakeholders. This study serves as guidance for project owners hoping to motivate the crowd and for future investigators examining backer motivations in other types of crowdsourcing projects.Research limitations/implicationsOnline chatter in the form of user-generated comments is an excellent data source for researchers to mine for value and meaning.Practical implicationsGiven strong feelings of psychological ownership, project owners should actively engage the crowd and solicit the crowd for advice and help in order to motivate them.Originality/valueThe study presents the first empirical exploration of backer motivations using LDA guided by theory and the knowledge of experts. A framework of latent motivational factors is proposed.

“…Qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) is a research methodology based on the mathematical set theory. QCA analyses the influence of the combination of causal conditions on the outcome (De Crescenzo et al, 2021;Misangyi et al, 2017;Ribeiro-Navarrete et al, 2021b). Qualitative comparative studies have a configurational approach (Fainshmidt et al, 2020;Lassala et al, 2021;Ribeiro-Navarrete et al, 2021a), in that the relevance of the methodology relies more on the configuration/combination of conditions, more than the behaviour of an individual condition on the outcome.…”

The main objective of the article is to show how the influence of Covid-19 affects entrepreneurial motivation through the variables of creativity, leadership, and communication, understood as information available and transferable within the environment. Research Design & Methods:The study was performed by means of an email survey questionnaire conducted on 63 employees in Madrid (Spain). The propositions and the research model were tested with fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA). Findings: The results illustrate that employees who aspire to become entrepreneurs evidence specific configurations in relation to the variables proposed before the Covid-19 pandemic. Nevertheless, these configurations in the new normal are only determinant for the absence of entrepreneurial decision. Implications & Recommendations: Background affects the link between the variables of creativity, communication, leadership, and entrepreneurial motivation. Thus, the uncertainty derived from Covid-19 influences entrepreneurial development, and consequently, it is recommended to consider these aspects in government policies that encourage support to potential entrepreneurs. Contribution & Value Added: Through a comprehensive assessment, this research contributes to the literature on entrepreneurship by addressing the gap related to entrepreneurial motivation and the impact of the new normal in the face of
