作者：

Highlights：

• It is unclear what factors affect contributions effort in crowdsourcing activities.

• Extrinsic motivation affects contribution effort more than intrinsic motivation.

• IPR affects contribution effort indirectly via extrinsic motivation rather than intrinsic motivation.

• Importance of IPR protection holds irrespective of participants'gender and task complexity.

• A one-time prize is insufficient for motivating solvers if IPRs are not protected.
