Context Characteristics

Gamification is a contemporary powerful means of affecting human behavior. However, its effectiveness relies on both the users' profiles and non-game context characteristics. This article focused on designing gamified interventions guided by the users' profiles and the application context, towards increasing the potential for user engagement and behavior change. The authors apply a structured process while designing a serious game for energy conservation in three workplaces. First employee needs for self-actualisation, self-regulation, rewards and recognition, and affiliation are identified as the most prominent motivations to participate in gamification at work. Then their relationships with employee game element preferences and energy-saving behaviors are explored. Additionally, a mechanism producing personalized messages, which can be integrated with the gamified intervention, is proposed. Overall, this research can be useful to future researchers and practitioners that aspire to design successful user-oriented gamified interventions at work as well as different non-game contexts.

Use Of Internet

The advancements in technology and the increased use of internet, digital business models and Internet of things (IoT) have paved a way for sustainable and inclusive cities that provide their citizens a clean and sustainable environment. Smart solutions of the smart cities focus on making the life of its citizens comfortable but they fail to make their everyday activities motivated in becoming sustainable. This paper proposes a gamification framework that aims to facilitate energy conservation and customer engagement in smart cities. By using game in a non-game context such as in this gamification framework, helps in keeping the fun element of the game intact while achieving the specified learning objective of energy efficiency. The proposed application aims at identifying energy wastages and motivates behavioral changes of the player combining team play, virtual rewards and life simulation. The paper explains various concepts of gamification and differentiates it from game-based learning. It proposes the gamification strategy, game mechanics drivers and motivators, game engine, game architecture, financial rewards and a detailed set of rules for the proposed gamification application. The application targets at promoting awareness and involvement of the players in managing their own resources, choices and behavior for a sustainable development. The paper aims at motivating the citizens and changing their behavior in a desired way.

And Behavior

In order for humans could reach the so-called falah (goodness), human behavior needs to be colored with the spirit and norms of Islamic economics reflected in its values. The principles and values of Islamic economics are considerably two inseparable things. The implementation of economic principles without being colored with values or values without being based on principles could keep people far away from their purpose, namely falah. The implementation of values not based on principles will tend to bring with it the normative economics, which would cause it trapped into injustice. While the implementation of values on the Islamic economic development is based on the five universal values, namely akidah (belief), 'adl (justice), nubuwwah (prophetic), khilafah (the government), and ma'ad (results). The five principles are used as the basis for building theories of Islamic economics. But strong and adequate theories not applied into a system will make the Islamic economics just as the study of science without giving positive impact on the economic life. Therefore, based on the five universal values, the three derivative principles should be built into the characteristics and the forerunner of the Islamic economic system. The Islamic economic system makes sure that there are no economic transactions that are contrary to the Shari'a. But business performance depends on the man behind the gun. For that reason, the economic actors within this framework could be held by non-Muslims. The Islamic economics could only be developed if the mindset and behavior of Muslims are already itqan (diligent) and ihsan (professional). It "may be" one of the secrets of the Prophet's statement, saying "Truly I was sent to perfect good character". Because good character could be an indicator of knowing good or bad behavior in determining both the success and the failure of business itself.

The term self-regulation (SR) refers to a set of specific cognitive skills necessary for students to independently manage, monitor, and assess their own academic learning and behavior. Students with and at risk for emotional and behavioral disorders (EBD) often lack these skills. This article provides educators with step-by-step procedures and information on three research- or evidence-based SR strategies they can implement in their classrooms: self-regulated strategy development, self-monitoring, and strategy instruction.
