Gamification - The process of designing our activities into games

Christofer, Monsen, Oscar, Lindholm January 2016 (has links)
The trend of adjusting our activities, making them more attractive and less like chores is apparent just by looking at the applications and systems we use for our everyday lives. In this study we investigate this phenomenon, in both training and dating applications, from a design perspective using the frameworks of gamification and Fogg´s behavior model. Using these tools in complement with qualitative interviews we answer questions regarding how one can design gamification to achieve behavior change. The chosen applications, namely Tinder, Badoo, RunKeeper and Nike+ were all identified as gamification applications and in regard to how they were designed, the training applications primarily showed interest in raising the motivation of users, while the dating applications rather focused on easing the simplicity of performing the behavior.

Spelifiering av kulturarv : En kvalitativ studie om att skapa engagemang kring Sveriges kulturarv / Gamifying Cultural Heritage : A qualitative study about creating engagement towards Sweden's cultural heritage

Emil, Jadelius, Rasmus, Svensson January 2021 (has links)
Introduktion: Besöksnäringen är en växande sektor i Sverige, där kulturarv utgör en central del för att förmå skapa attraktiva besöksmål. Trots detta finns det fortfarande många kulturarv som inte synliggörs och därmed förblir outnyttjade resurser för städer och landsbygd. En växande trend inom besöksnäringen är spelifiering, vilket potentiellt bidrar till en rolig och personlig upplevelse och samtidigt ett synliggörande av många besöksmål som kan vara svåra att finna. Det finns dock begränsad forskning för spelifiering inom turism och än mindre om spelifiering av kulturarv. Syfte: Studiens syfte är att kartlägga vilka komponenter inom en spelifiering som initialt kan inneha betydelse för att skapa ett intresse hos användare att utforska kulturarv. Studien utgick ifrån forskningsfrågan: Hur kan spelifieringen för platsbaserade mobila applikationer som uppmärksammar kulturarv utformas för att attrahera nya användare och motivera dessa till användning? Litteraturstudie: Litteraturstudien behandlar spelifiering och Foggs beteendemodell. Spelifiering är användandet av spelelement inom kontexter som traditionellt inte hör samman med spelande och handlar om att motivera individer med målet att göra så många som möjligt till vinnare. Foggs beteendemodell påvisar att mänskligt beteende är ett resultat av tre element: Motivation - Drivkraft till handling; Förmåga - Kapacitet till handling; Trigger - Utlösande faktor till handling. Metod: Studien har en kvalitativ ansats med utgångspunkt i fältet för användarcentrerad design. Först tillämpades en heuristisk utvärdering ämnad för spelifierade tjänster, som sedan kompletterades med kvalitativa intervjuer där potentiella användare involverades för att uppmärksamma deras behov. Resultat: Resultaten visar att nyfikenhet och viljan att utforska är två drivande motivationsfaktorer. Det påvisas även att den information som presenteras i samband med kulturarv är central för att skapa engagemang kring kulturarv. Utmaningar i form av frågesport är ett uppskattat inslag men det är viktigt att frågor har en koppling till berört kulturarv och att det finns en varierad svårighetsnivå för att tillgodose både novisa och erfarna användare. Det finns ett behov av sociala inslag där det går att interagera med vänner genom gruppaktiviteter eller utmaningar. Sociala inslag bidrar även till att användare triggar varandra till att upptäcka kulturarv. Slutsats: För att lyckas skapa spelifierade lösningar som uppmärksammar kulturarv måste det som presenteras inneha mening för användare. / Introduction: The tourism industry is a growing sector in Sweden, of which cultural heritage is central to create attractive destinations. Despite this, there are still many cultural heritage sites that are not visible and thus remain unutilized resources for cities and the countryside. A growing trend in the tourism industry is gamification, which potentially contributes to a fun personal experience while increasing the visibility of many destinations that can be difficult to find. However, there is limited research on gamification in tourism and even less on gamification applied to cultural heritage. Purpose: The purpose of the study is to identify which components within a gamification that can initially be important for generating an interest in users to explore cultural heritage. The study intends to answer the following research question: How can the gamification for location-based mobile applications that pay attention to cultural heritage be designed to attract new users and motivate them to use? Literature study: The literature study delves into gamification and Fogg's behavior model. Gamification is the use of game elements in contexts that are not traditionally associated with gaming and is about motivating individuals with the goal of making as many as possible winners. Fogg's behavior model demonstrates that human behavior is the result of three elements: Motivation - Driving force to action; Ability - Capacity for action; Trigger - Triggering factor to action. Method: The study has a qualitative approach based on user-centered design. First, a heuristic evaluation intended for gamified services was applied, which was then supplemented with qualitative interviews where potential users were involved to pay attention to their needs. Results: The results show that curiosity and the willingness to explore are two driving motivational factors. It is also shown that the information presented in connection with cultural heritage is central to creating motivation around cultural heritage. Challenges in the form of quizzes are an appreciated element, but it is important that questions have a connection to the cultural heritage and that there is a varied level of difficulty to satisfy both novice and experienced users. There is a need for social elements where it is possible to interact with friends through group activities or challenges. Social elements also contribute to users triggering each other to discover cultural heritage. Conclusion: To succeed in creating gamified solutions that pay attention to cultural heritage, what is presented within the solution must be meaningful to the user.

Motivation and autonomy in a digital organisational communication of a swedish franchise system

Nsaibia, Ramzi, Edelswärd Sneitz, Maja January 2023 (has links)
This study has investigated how franchisors can implement and adapt digital organisational communication with collaborative tools and communication theories to empower their franchisees, improve their motivation and foster greater autonomy within the franchise system. The study was made possible by performing a qualitative analytical case study within a franchise company together with both franchisors and franchisees consisting of a total of 5 units and 8 participants, with the help of semi-structured interviews and the Free Listing-method.  The result shows that there is a lot of room for improvement for both franchisees and franchisors in terms of how a digital organisational communication should be implemented and adapted with the help of collaboration tools and communication theories, but that much also lies with the individuals themselves in greater inclusion, but also to enhance their motivation and foster a greater autonomy within an organisation. The study was conducted to convey the various ways that digital organisation communication can be implemented within a franchise system, organisations or businesses.
