“…According to the opinions of the participants, it can be said that cultural values and heritage have begun to erode, most especially in North Cyprus and this also confirms the findings of extant studies like Mabovula (2011) , Nicu et al (2020) , Wahab et al (2012) from other countries. Furthermore, participants suggested that cultural values and heritage should be preserved, kept alive, and transferred to new generations as earlier recommended by Kruft and Gamber (2021) and Bitzer et al (2021) , and more importance should be given to the issue of cultural values and heritage in schools. This implies that since culture is learnable ( Spencer-Oatey and Franklin, 2012 ), educators should concentrate on teaching cultural values and heritage in schools, to protect, preserve, and transmit to the younger generations.…”

IntroductionSharing cultural values in this digital age for young generations who are digital natives is highly important and, in this respect, the aims of this study are to evaluate experts’ opinions on sharing cultural values in this digital age based on their experience, the roles of educators and families with respect to the sharing of cultural values through storytelling in the digital age, and also capture how cultural values can be explained with metaphors.MethodsA focus group interview was conducted with teachers and vice headmasters from public primary and secondary schools in the Northern part of Cyprus within the age range of 30-50 years that are considered to be experts based on their 10 years and above of teaching experience. Data were analyzed through line-by-line coding to create themes.ResultsFindings revealed that cultural values are eroding, and in sharing cultural values with storytelling in the digital age, the roles of educators and families are essential. Cultural values are the treasures and mirrors of society that should be preserved and transmitted to the younger generations and this can be accomplished through participation in digital platforms, and when such participatory cultural heritage projects are planned with a community-oriented background and human-centered computing concentration.DiscussionThis research sheds a light to indicate the importance of the storytelling approach for sharing cultural values and heritage. It is significant to address the merits of technology in transferring cultural values and heritage. In addition to this, this study is limited to one specific context that can be further explored as a cross-cultural analysis.

“…Employees who use such an ideation platform are either motivated strongly enough to push their ideas against all odds or have received extrinsic goals by superiors, such as submitting a certain number of ideas. While the former usually contributes valuable ideas, the latter often only creates crowding, causing ideation platforms to become cluttered with unhelpful ideas (Kruft & Gamber, 2021; Piezunka & Dahlander, 2015). Therefore, companies seek to increase their employees' intrinsic motivation to participate actively on online ideation platforms and further improve the quality of the submitted ideas.…”

Employees' innovative behaviour becomes increasingly important for organizational success. Companies try to improve their innovation capabilities by supporting and motivating employees to show innovative behaviour. Particularly online ideation platforms become relevant because they create new opportunities for employees to be innovative. This paper investigates how exposure to online ideation platforms' unique capabilities stimulates intrinsic motivation toward innovative behaviour and ultimately the submission of high‐quality ideas. Based on expectancy and channel expansion theories, we derive a framework with four intrinsic motivational forces that online ideation platforms can stimulate. A two‐study approach empirically tests this framework. The first study uses a multilevel regression on a dataset of 1630 employees nested in 136 departments of a leading international science and technology company. The second study analyses how 279 employees of the same company, who submitted 678 ideas on the company's online ideation platform, continue to be motivated by the platform's inherent characteristics and capabilities and submit high‐quality ideas. The results support the core argument that online ideation platforms stimulate certain desires motivating employees to engage in innovative behaviour and ultimately submit high‐quality ideas. The detailed results offer several contributions to innovation management literature and beyond.
