    Illuminating the Predictive Power of Gamification to Inspire Technology Users
    (Mensch und Computer 2023 - Workshopband, 2023) Weber, Sebastian; Klassen, Gerhard; Wyszynski, Marc; Kordyaka, Bastian
    This study explores the relationship between gamification design features and the motivational state of inspiration in the context of eLearning. We focus on three dimensions of gamification: immersion, achievement, and social. Using a cross-sectional survey design, covariance-based statistics, and structural equation modeling, we collected data from users of a language learning app. Our findings reveal that achievement-related gamification features, such as badges, points, levels, and tasks, evoke inspiration and foster the inspiration to learn. However, neither immersion-related nor social-related gamification features serve as a source of inspiration. This research contributes to the understanding of how gamification can be leveraged to enhance inspiration and possibly learning outcomes in eLearning environments.

    Job-related technology resistance among public sector employees: A social environment approach: “Alexa, how can I avoid using innovative technology at work?”
    (7. Fachtagung Rechts- und Verwaltungsinformatik (RVI 2024): Neue Wege der Zusammenarbeit und Vernetzung für digitale Transformation und Verwaltungsmodernisierung, 2024) Wyszynski, Marc; Bauer, Luca T; Kordyaka, Bastian; Niehaves, Björn
    The current paper presents a work-in-progress study extending previous research on technology resistance among public sector employees by introducing a social environment approach, providing a more inclusive view of resistance towards technology in the public sector. We argue that technology-resisting behavior at the individual level may be modified by both individual characteristics, such as the susceptibility to the status quo bias, as suggested by previous work, and the particular social environment. We argue that the unique organizational-cultural characteristics of the public sector constitute a special social environment that may induce job-related technology resistance among public sector employees. We expect this effect to be moderated by generational cohorts and the progress in digitalization of the respective employing public administration. To test our hypotheses, we propose an online experiment to explore the relationship between public sector employees’ attitudes towards the use of innovative technologies and the social environment.
