Assistant Professorship of Information Systems (Gamification) – endowed by adidas
The Gamification Research Group at FAU investigates the increasing penetration of technology, business, and everyday life with games, game design elements, and emerging phenomena from the (video) gaming industry, such as virtual & augmented realities, virtual goods, eSports or the ‘metaverse’.
In particular, we explore the design of gamified information systems and the effects of game design features on human motivation, experiences, and behaviour (e.g., engagement, participation, collaboration, performance, learning, or technology use).
We apply our research in various domains (e.g., sustainability, training, e-commerce, collaboration, product design, innovation and creativity) and industries (e.g., consumer goods, automotive, banking, healthcare and education) and focus on finding solutions for urgent challenges of organizations and society.
