Assistant Professorship of Information Systems (Gamification) – endowed by adidas
Our research group focuses on 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, the ‘metaverse’ or serious games.
In particular, we investigate the design of gamified information systems and the effects of game design feature 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., sales & marketing, mobility, education, collaboration, product design, innovation, creativity) and industries (e.g., consumer goods, automotive, banking, healthcare, education) and focus on finding solutions for urgent challenges of organizations and society.
I am pleased to invite you to submit your latest games or gamification research to our call for papers at the 26th International Academic Mindtrek Conference, 4th and 5th of October 2023, Tampere, Finland. Together with Prof. Juho Hamari, I am co-chairing this year’s Games and Gamification Track.
