Abstract: Drawing from the functional approach to volunteerism, the aim of this preliminary study is to investigate the motives driving people's willingness to use a mobile crowdsourcing app to voluntarily help others in a smart city. Data were collected from 125 individuals. Preliminary results indicate that there are three categories of motives (i.e. Values, Protective and Professional) underlying helping behaviors in a smart city. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
