Abstract

Hackathons are characterized by their dynamic and collaborative nature, acting as incubators for innovation in diverse contexts. They are celebrated for nurturing creativity and tackling current challenges while offering distinctive educational opportunities. However, participants' lack of confidence and increased anxiety can diminish the utility of a hackathon's outcomes, adversely affecting both the resolution of the challenges at hand and the educational value of the experience. Drawing on 398 responses from verified hackathon participants, we examined associations among experience, intrinsic and extrinsic motivations, confidence and anxiety. The findings confirm that experience at hackathons has a beneficial effect on individuals' confidence levels and concurrently diminishes anxiety. Additionally, intrinsic motivations show negative associations with anxiety and positive associations with confidence, while extrinsic motivations have unequivocal effects. These insights deepen our comprehension of the hackathon ecosystem, underscoring the criticality of participant's well-being and motivation. The ramifications of these findings are multifaceted: they not only inform the enhancement of hackathon frameworks, emphasizing a participant-focused approach, but also facilitate the strategic incorporation of hackathons within educational and organizational contexts.

驾驭黑客马拉松:探索参与者的经验、信心和焦虑
黑客马拉松的特点是充满活力和协作性,是各种背景下创新的孵化器。黑客马拉松因培养创造力和应对当前挑战而备受赞誉,同时也提供了独特的教育机会。然而,参与者缺乏自信和焦虑的增加会降低黑客马拉松成果的效用,对解决当前挑战和体验的教育价值产生不利影响。我们利用经核实的黑客马拉松参与者的 398 份回复,研究了经验、内在和外在动机、信心和焦虑之间的关联。研究结果证实,参加黑客马拉松的经历对个人的自信水平有好处,同时还能减轻焦虑。此外,内在动机显示出与焦虑的负相关和与自信的正相关,而外在动机则有明确的影响。这些见解加深了我们对黑客马拉松生态系统的理解,强调了参与者的幸福感和动机的重要性。这些发现的影响是多方面的:它们不仅为黑客马拉松框架的改进提供了信息,强调了以参与者为中心的方法,还促进了黑客马拉松在教育和组织环境中的战略性融入。
