Fostering motivation and performance via gamification

Kontext / Contexte

Gamification is an innovative approach to foster motivation and performance. It refers to the use of game elements in non-game contexts. Exemplary game design elements are points, badges, leaderboards, levels or virtual rewards. It is expected that these elements help to address psychological needs for competence, autonomy, and social relatedness and thereby increase motivation and performance in working contexts.
