| Abstract | Workforce management is a growing concern in people intensive service organizations like IT service delivery. The knowledge workers tend to get de-motivated due to the mundane nature of maintenance tasks assigned to them. To tackle this problem, many organizations are willing to experiment with novel methods of work allocation that provide certain amount of autonomy to the knowledge workers by enabling them to choose what they want to work on. In this paper, we propose a method of work allocation that provides opportunities to employees to choose their work without the organization having to compromise on the regular business tasks. The idea is to use crowdsourcing concepts for the tasks that will enable employees to showcase their skills and talent. We have modeled crowdsourced cum managerial assignments , which we call Hybridsourcing, as an auction mechanism and use game theoretic analysis for studying the competition among players and the tradeoffs for the organization. As part of the auction mechanism for carrying out Hybridsourcing, two games have been formulated based on: 1) players have common knowledge about the operation costs and 2) operation costs are a private information. We show the existence and uniqueness of a Nash equilibrium (NE) in both the cases and provide an algorithm bounded by polynomial complexity in order to compute the NE. The outcome of the mechanism is defined by the unique NE. Furthermore, we study the pros and cons of our mechanism vis-a-vis the popular auction based mechanisms like VCG and few others. We also show that the mechanism allows for flexible autonomy making it very practical. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
