Emotional mechanics of gamification and value co-creation: the digital platform Nike+ as a B2B2C ecosystem

This study aims to investigate the impact of utilitarian, hedonic and social emotional mechanics in gamified digital platforms on the components of value co-creation. Hypotheses are proposed to test the emotional mechanics of gamification as antecedents of value co-creation in terms of the component...

Hypotheses are proposed to test the emotional mechanics of gamification as antecedents of value co-creation in terms of the components of the DART (dialogue, access, risk assessment, transparency) model.

The hypothesis testing is performed from the consumer perspective, with data gathered using a questionnaire sent to users of the Nike1 application.
