On WikiPapers we have some publications about that subject

Regarding: "Extant literature on this topic is lacking".
As you see Emijrp has collected 10 papers categorized under motivation
in his WikiPapers, and in the recently announce Wikilit group we have
also many papers on motivation (mostly collected by the four other
members of the Wikilit group), see e.g., this category with 30 papers:
http://wikilit.referata.com/wiki/Category:Contributor_motivation
Also the parent category:
http://wikilit.referata.com/wiki/Category:Antecedents_of_participation
52 papers are under this category. There is room for an entire review on
its own. :-)
Cheers,
Finn

Hello all,
I am an undergraduate student at the University of California, Santa
Barbara, conducting a senior honors thesis on users' motivations to
contribute to Wikipedia. A more detailed description of the project
can be read here:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Motivations_to_Contribute_to_Wikipedia
My project's success is dependent on the valuable responses of
Wikipedia contributors, which I am collecting through an online
questionnaire. This brief questionnaire is completely anonymous and
should take approximately 10 minutes to complete. If any of you are
willing to complete this questionnaire, it can be accessed here:
https://us1.us.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_8ixU9RkozemzC4s.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
Thank you in advance for your help!
Sincerely,
Audrey Abeyta
