“…The reason for this could be that in many educational electronic games, competitiveness is not required, while in sport and action fighting electronic games, competition between players is practiced (Sherry, Lucas, Greenberg, & Lachlan, 2006). As a result, in our study, it is likely that no competition behavior occurred, and when people play competitive electronic games and win, they enjoy themselves more (Liu, Li, & Santhanam, 2013). Furthermore, enjoyment increases self-concept (Przybylski et al, 2012).…”

Playing in general has a positive effect on child development; yet with the advancement of technology, the way children play has changed, and the effects of their play have changed as well. Some studies have shown an overall negative effect of electronic games, while others have reported the opposite. This study aims to investigate the effects of tablet-based electronic games on the child's self-concept. Twenty-six children between the ages of 4 and 6 years from low-income backgrounds participated. They were divided into two groups; in the experimental group, children were given a tablet device with 10 educational electronic games on it, and the mothers were instructed to let them play the games for less than three hours a day in a normal home situation. The control group was not given any electronic devices. A pre-and post-pictorial measure of self-concept was used. The overall results showed no gains in self-concept for the experimental group and no differences between the groups, except in the domain of curiosity, where the control group children experienced a pre-to post-test increase.

“…Drivers' offering solutions through the goCatch platform evidences that, when applied to learning activities, these types of platform can influence the nature of user learning outcomes (Santhanam et al, 2008). Once companies such as goCatch implements and assesses game-like processes, they can identify failures and areas for improvement (Liu, Li, & Santhanam, 2013). From there, goCatch could review its processes more comprehensively to develop further designs that better satisfied its users' needs.…”

“…In our case, the goCatch application and points system allowed drivers to experience and become competent in earning points when interacting with it. The goPoints system introduced game elements, such as scoring (Charles, Charles, McNeil, Bustard, & Black, 2011), challenges in progression difficulty (Toups et al, 2011), and competition (Romero et al, 2012), which engaged both drivers and passengers and motivated them to use the service for longer and expend more effort on it (Liu et al, 2013). More specifically, the function of IT-enabled gamification-an emergent strategy in practice that goCatch used to engage taxi drivers to change their behaviors, develop their skills and drive innovation (Gartner, 2014)-played a central role in its strategy to engage taxi drivers and passengers.…”

Abstract:The growing adoption of platforms such as Uber and Airbnb has contributed to the emergence of an access economy, which has disrupted a number of incumbent industries in the process. In this study, we examine goCatch, one of Australia's largest e-hailing and ride-sharing multi-sided platforms. From our investigations, we find that the technology affordances of multi-sided digital platforms can help to deliver new commercial services and offerings to consumers of the platform, which enables new forms of consumption and, subsequently, disrupts the incumbent industry. Our findings provide the empirical premise for a model that illustrates the role of technology in enabling consumer recognition, consumer engagement, and consumer transposition in the e-hailing context. For theory, we build on extant literature to identify the forms of motivational affordances leveraged in disruptive platforms and technologies. For practice, we conceptualize the function of technology-enabled gamification as an emergent strategy that one can use to induce consumers to change their behaviors, develop their technical skills and drive innovation that plays a central role in enabling digital disruption. This study also clarifies the relationship between technology affordances and value creation against the backdrop of the emergent access economy.

“…This shift in business models requires vendors to attract and capture users' continued interest, and to engage users to spend time in their system [5], [6]. Game industry is a prime context to study engagement, as the survival depends heavily on engagement [7], [8]. In hedonic contexts such as gaming, the implications are even more salient as multiple products compete for users' scarce attention.…”

Abstract-This study aims to uncover the effects of two types of add-on content -namely, user generated and developer generated content-on user engagement with software. Utilizing a novel dataset from a major online game distribution platform covering 7323 products between January 2015 and February 2016, the findings reveal that both types of add-on content increases the engagement with software. However, we observe substitutive patterns between different types of add-on content. Our results suggest integrating social features to the base product reduces these substitution effects. The results of this study contribute to the literatures on user engagement and add-on content by uncovering hitherto overlooked substitutive relations between user generated and developer generated addon content.
