Integrating engagement in an organization with gamification
So you have reached a new level, WOW! Great work! Higher-level often means higher status, you feel the heat, must continue, to the next level and even higher status is within your reach. You never know what is waiting around the next corner besides basically more action, more problem-solving, more fun, time to satisfy your curiosity. The dopamine flows through your brain. However, computer games and gamification are a fictional world. But what if you put such components to work for you for your own advantage in the real world?
Dopamine thrills
The brain runs on Dopamine, not really, such a claim is too excessive. But Dopamine is included in several important systems that regulate movement, joy, enthusiasm, concentration, and so on. Nevertheless, Dopamine does not like a drug has an impact on the experience in itself. Instead, it empowers the will to search for things and environments that cause joy and pleasure. This is a process that intensifies motivation, curiosity, and the will to explore.
Well-designed computer-game-environments are an optimal target for Dopamine thrills. Since it is fictional, meaning that it will not cause any harm to you or others whatever you do in the system. At the same time, as you climbing a success-ladder and adding new and higher levels to your profile, and gaining status. This is really the core in order to enhance engagement in a system new dynamics have to be implemented in the form of Dopamine thrills. Game-components, as described above, co-relate well to accomplish this with mechanisms like socializing, exploring, competing, creating, problem-solving, managing, collaborating, and so on.
