Synthesis of main findings and hypothesis confirmation

HypothesisFormulationObtained results (estimated parameters/regression model)Confirmation
HP1Idea attention is positively related to idea survival in internal crowdsourcing(βIdeaAttention = 0.701; < 0.05)/Model 2Yes
HP2Idea appreciation mediates the relationship between idea attention and idea survival(βIdeaAttention = 0.294; < 0.01)/Model 1 and (βIdeaAppreciation = 1.810; < 0.01)/Model 3Yes
HP3Competition for attention negatively moderates the relationship between idea attention and idea appreciation(βIdeaAttention x CompetitionAttention = −0.004; < 0.01)/Model 4Yes
HP4aIdeas posted earlier in internal crowdsourcing sessions, everything else being equal, are more likely to survive(βTimeSessionBeginning = −0.714; < 0.05)/Model 3Yes
HP4bThe likelihood of idea survival is positively related to the elapsed time between the insertion of two consecutive ideas posted in internal crowdsourcing sessions(βTimePreviousIdea = 0.037; < 0.1)/Model 3Yes
