“…Crowdsourcing is a recent form of open collaboration for new product development and idea generation (Albors et al , 2008; Jeppesen and Lakhani, 2010; Schlagwein and Bjørn-Andersen, 2014; Xu and Hamari, 2022), in which customers are challenged to provide a solution for companies (Howe, 2006; Palacios et al , 2016). Various models of crowdsourcing have emerged, including crowdfunding (e.g.…”

Purpose This paper aims to examine how the relationship norms established between customers and brands influence customer perceptions of crowdsourcing (vs firm-generated) cues. Design/methodology/approach Four studies (N = 851) examine the moderating role of relationship norms on product labeling cues (crowdsourcing vs firm-generated) effects on brand engagement, and the underlying mechanism of self-brand connection. Findings The findings suggest that crowdsourcing (vs firm-generated) cues lead to higher brand engagement (Studies 1A–1B), mediated by self-brand connection (Studies 2–3). In addition, relationship norms moderate the effects (Study 3), such that under exchange brand relationships crowdsourcing (vs firm-generated) cues yield higher brand engagement, whereas communal brand relationships reverse such effects. Practical implications The findings provide valuable managerial implications by highlighting the importance of using relationship norms as diagnostic cues to successfully implement crowdsourcing initiatives. Originality/value This research adds to the customer-brand relationship literature by revealing an accessibility-diagnosticity perspective of consumers’ reactions to crowdsourcing (vs firm-generated) cues.

“…Gamification can facilitate communicative language learning by providing opportunities for students to engage in authentic language use, such as role-playing, simulations, and collaborative tasks within the game environment. Gamified activities can encourage students to practice and apply their language skills in realistic contexts, promoting fluency and communicative competence (Xu and Hamari, 2022).…”

This article aims to explore the effect of applying gamification in English language skills as a pedagogical approach to enhance students’ academic performance in university settings. The researchers employed a mixed-method approach to examine the impact of gamification on English language skills. Gamification involves integrating game elements and mechanics into non-game contexts, such as educational activities. The article examined the effect of gamification and its implementation in teaching English language skills in university settings. The study finds out that gamification offers a promising avenue for promoting engagement, motivation, and proficiency in teaching English language skills. However, further research is needed to investigate gamified learning environments' long-term effects and optimal design principles.

“…The benefits creators can enjoy through their activity are multiple, at least in theory. As creators, they can and will perceive the results of their efforts as a token of self-expression and their creativity as proof of their competence in the use of gamification as well as the gamified topic, improving their perceived well-being (Watson et al, 2018;Xu and Hamari, 2022). Brandi and Iannone (2016) claim that "it is clear that the design and deployment of learning strategies in workplaces are key to bolstering lifelong learning".…”

PurposeThis literature review explores the potential of gamification in workplace learning beyond formal training. The study also highlights research gaps and opportunities for scholars to develop new theories and methodologies to enhance the understanding and application of gamification in workplace learning. It provides guidance for managers to use gamification to enhance learning and engagement. Ultimately, this review presents gamification as a promising field of study to increase individual and organizational performance.Design/methodology/approachLiterature review of 6625 papers in the timeframe 1990–2020, with an update to include papers published in 2023.FindingsThis article examines the impact of gamification beyond formal learning and its potential to enhance employee productivity and well-being in the workplace. While there has been extensive research on gamification in formal learning contexts, little is known about its impact on informal learning. The study argues that the context of gamification is crucial to extending its effects and discusses the role, antecedents and consequences of game design elements in the workplace. The article also explores how the learning context relates to employee learning during work. Further research is necessary to investigate the impact of individual characteristics on work experience and performance.Research limitations/implicationsIntended contribution of the present study is the development of a theoretical framework exploring the benefits of gamification in a work context.Practical implicationsFor practicing managers, this paper shows how to use gamification to increase workplace learning and employee engagement, not just in the context of formal learning—as some companies already do today—but also systematically, in the context of informal learning.Originality/valueThis study explores the impact of gamification on informal workplace learning and emphasizes the significance of the context of gamification in extending its effects to improve individual and organizational performance.
