Self-determination theory (SDT) has been used in past online game studies to explain player satisfaction, but it is rarely used to examine game design as a trigger for player satisfaction, which reveals a research gap. This gap keeps game makers in the dark about the design of games that effectively satisfy players, throwing gamers’ ongoing game usage into doubt. Aiming to fill this gap, we proposed three new game design elements and examined their impacts on player satisfaction, continuance, and usage. We followed 546 participants who responded to our online survey and permitted us to collect their system-captured game usage data, generating two-wave and two-source data. We found that game achievability and game immersibility are game design elements that satisfy players. Competence satisfaction and autonomy satisfaction—but not relatedness satisfaction—are characteristics that secure players’ continuance and actual usage. Two replication studies were conducted to further verify these findings. Our study extends SDT backward to examine the game-contextualized triggers of satisfaction. These theorized triggers showcase game system design, theoretically clarifying the means of using SDT to design games, and providing practical insights to guide game makers in securing player continuance and actual usage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102732"},"PeriodicalIF":21.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0268401223001135/pdfft?md5=cad0a140621182d28925daa034f3030f&pid=1-s2.0-S0268401223001135-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138435939","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A mixed-methods approach is employed to test the proposed hypotheses. The results from three focus groups demonstrated the difficulty that users face in focusing their attention on the main elements of the metaverse, and the inability of this virtual sphere to convey the authenticity of a cultural event. Based on these findings, a metaverse-focused quantitative study was conducted to examine whether perceived gamification mitigate the negative effects of users failing to pay attention in their metaverse experiences. When users increased their attention levels, their ability to imagine the real experience and their perceptions of the authenticity of the cultural event increased, which produced positive behavioral intentions.

The present research addresses this gap and adopts a multi-method research design with four sequential studies. Study 1 serves as a pre-study and provides initial exploratory insights into the concept of creepiness in the context of SHAs.

Study 3 uses an online experiment to test the nomological validity of the construct of creepiness in a larger conceptual model. Study 4 further elucidates the underlying behavioral dynamics using focus group analysis. The findings contribute to the literature on the dark side of smart technology by analyzing the triggers and mechanisms underlying perceived creepiness as a novel inhibitor to SHAs.

This paper introduces the concept of CSD, which occurs when an internet-connected smartphone competes for a customer’s attention during a consumption goal-oriented task or behavior. Based on a three-stage research process involving a systematic literature review and an expert opinion survey with a multi-disciplinary lens to better understand this phenomenon, we develop a conceptual framework underpinned by Cognitive – Affective Personality System (CAPS) Theory that incorporates the antecedents, contingency variables, and consequences of CSD. Our findings suggest that CSD is a complex phenomenon influenced by both environmental stimuli, such as audio and visual notifications, and internal psychological states, such as boredom and anxiety, which are interdependent factors that contribute to CSD. Interestingly, the absence of environmental stimuli alone may not reduce CSD. To deal with this issue, customers need to take responsibility for their consumption behavior, while businesses, society and policy makers can assist customers through better education and design of mobile device experiences. Overall, we highlight the need for a deeper understanding of CSD and its impact on customer behavior and well-being, and outline implications to assist researchers, practitioners, policy makers and society broadly to deal with CSD.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48422,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Information Management","volume":"75 ","pages":"Article 102722"},"PeriodicalIF":21.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0268401223001032/pdfft?md5=43a5bd4dcde9a0b44e50a213bdfbdbf2&pid=1-s2.0-S0268401223001032-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135221307","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
