Gamification inducing creative ideation: a parallel mediation model

Gamification for HRD: Systematic Review and Future Research Directions

“…For example, how do various game mechanics such as a sense of social belonging, competition, or perceived behavioral control influence gamification in different contexts and among different participants (Scheiner, 2015). Scholars argue that it is worth evaluating how personality traits are related to various game elements (Alshammari, 2019) as well as the effect of collaboration among different personalities in HRD-related interventions (Liu et al, 2018; Nivedhitha & Manzoor, 2020). It is also recommended exploring the effect of antecedents such as time pressure, exposure to cross-sectional versus intra team members (Nivedhitha & Manzoor, 2020) as factors that could influence gamification at the workplace.…”

“…Many recommended evaluating gamification interventions with a longer time frame (Alshammari, 2019; Liu et al, 2018) and understanding the long-term effects (Baxter et al, 2016; Dadaczynski et al, 2017; Mitchell et al, 2020). Many believe longitudinal studies are essential to obtain “deeper insights” (Nivedhitha & Manzoor, 2020, p. 19) and “valuable information” (Miller et al, 2018, p. 265) about the dynamics of gamification in organizational settings. This type of future research would provide a better understanding of the contributions, long-term effects, and sustainability of gamified experiences in organizations.…”

“…Part of understanding the sustained effects of gamification in HRD is ensuring a degree of methodological rigor and experimental designs when studying this topic. Most of the researchers suggest the need for experimental studies such as randomized control trials (Dadaczynski et al, 2017; Maltseva et al, 2019; Nivedhitha & Manzoor, 2020) to produce insights that are methodologically sound (Scheiner, 2015). In addition, robust gamification manipulation (Maltseva et al, 2019) and careful experimental evaluation in organizational contexts (Alshammari, 2019) were recommended.…”

“…For instance, researchers suggested future research to identify the psychological and behavioral consequences of various game features (Morschheuser et al, 2017). Furthermore, it is even suggested to examine transcendent experience in a gamified setting (Nivedhitha & Manzoor, 2020). Thus, a deeper understanding of experiential outcomes helps to comprehend the essence of gamification and corresponding behavior outcomes.…”

Analysis of Creative Thinking Skills Development under Active Learning Strategies

“…A 2018 study reported discordant results regarding the use of FL and the lack of studies focused on assessing its impact on developing specific skills, such as creative thinking [25]. On the other hand, for a gamification-based experiment, a correlation between game dynamics and creativity was shown in one study whose results were supported by the participants' surveyed perception, lacking quantitative metrics [26].…”
