In particular it discusses the key changes within the artists’ labour market at the time of the growing fame of the Internet including the crowdsourcing cases.

This article is about the use of crowdsourcing in public sector. In many countries in the world, also in Poland, state authorities at various levels have sought effective ways to involve their citizens in public decision-making. The main objective of increasing civic engagement is to broadly promote trust in public authority activities and to build civil partnerships. The Polish experience in this area is not satisfactory and forces both practitioners and theorists to look for solutions that would achieve such goals. The author presents the model of key elements influencing the level of civic engagement.

Crowdsourcing can be treated as one of the new methods of citizen participation in public decisions, including the creation of legal regulations. The author, using the interdisciplinary approach and decision analysis, describes the process of changing the traditional paradigm of exercising public authority and points to the potential applications of the so-called ‘wisdom of the crowd’ at particular stages of the legislative decision-making process. One can distinguish here: diagnostic crowdsourcing (ex ante) and evaluation (ex post). The author also analyzes potential applications of crowdsourcing techniques in relation to selected dimensions included in the Legislator Decision-making Model (instrumental, axiological, social normative system, social conflict and discursive). Crowdsourcing implemented in an appropriate manner by law-making institutions can play a complementary role in moderating social dialogue and seeking innovative applications of legal means to solve social problems, strengthening the authority of law and contributing to the improvement of the quality of regulations.

The combination of mentoring and crowdsourcing strategy creates new possibilities for solving problems in both, business and social sphere. On the one hand, mentoring is a form of support for the professional development of the organization’s employees. On the other hand, it can be seen as a way to exploit the potential of the elderly. This idea corresponds to the goals of crowdsourcing, as a means of supporting the ‘crowd’ in solving problems. Older people in this situation are a group that has unmistakable counseling potential that can be used in the form of mentoring in crowdsourcing.
