“…The research found that challenging job has positive effects on job aspect development (Banfield, 2018;Corcos, 2018;Sassenberg & Scholl, 2019). Simultaneously, a challenging job increases employee knowledge, ability, skill, and experience (Tornqvist and Tichon, 2019), and further gives employees an opportunity to use their knowledge, ability, skill and experience to provide quality services (Candela, 2014;Tornqvist & Tichon, 2019). Thus, when employees engaged in a challenging job, they consider that job as an opportunity of providing a personally rewarding experience (Tse, Fung & Nakamura, 2018).…”

Creativity is widely believed to be necessary to increase quality performance. Thus, in today’s more challenging and competitive environment, the contemporary organization frequently utilizes rewards practices to stimulate creative activities among employees. Existing research on reward practices shows evidence that creativity contingent rewards play a vital role in improving employee creative performance. This study presents a systematic review of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards that contribute to creativity and their effect on employee creativity. The findings show that regardless of the degree of importance of the rewards perceived by the employee, both the extrinsic and intrinsic rewards were positively correlated with the behaviour of creativity behavior. Interestingly, the results showed that creativity-contingent intrinsic rewards have relatively stronger effects on employee creativity when compared to creativity-contingent extrinsic rewards.

“…For instance, whereas CET considers control and autonomy conceptually distinct [136] and posits that unexpected rewards do not affect intrinsic motivation [132], recent HCI games work [617] theorised that randomised rewards (e.g., loot boxes) might thwart autonomy as players have limited control over what reward they receive. Similarly, studies on the motivational impact of 'juicy' feedback [237,239,546] have yielded mixed results. Drawing from CET, it is possible that 'juiciness' affects need satisfaction differently to the extent that visual embellishments confer informational feedback, thus augmenting perceived competence; or help amplify players' perceptions of their actions as originating from a more internal locus of causality [see 17,207], supporting autonomy satisfaction.…”

Self-Determination Theory (SDT), a major psychological theory of human motivation, has become increasingly popular in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) research on games and play. However, it remains unclear how SDT has advanced HCI games research, or how HCI games scholars engage with the theory. We reviewed 110 CHI and CHI PLAY papers that cited SDT to gain a better understanding of the ways the theory has contributed to HCI games research. We find that SDT, and in particular, the concepts of need satisfaction and intrinsic motivation, have been widely applied to analyse the player experience and inform game design. Despite the popularity of SDT-based measures, however, prominent core concepts and mini-theories are rarely considered explicitly, and few papers engage with SDT beyond descriptive accounts. We highlight conceptual gaps at the intersection of SDT and HCI games research, and identify opportunities for SDT propositions, concepts, and measures to more productively inform future work.
