Weighted Mean00:57

Weighted Mean

4.8K
While taking the arithmetic, geometric, or harmonic mean of a sample data set, equal importance is assigned to all the data points. However, all the values may not always be equally important in some data sets. An intrinsic bias might make it more important to give more weightage to specific values over others.
For example, consider the number of goals scored in the matches of a tournament. While computing the average number of goals scored in the tournament, it may be more important to...

Social Loafing01:37

Social Loafing

34.4K
Another way in which a group presence can affect performance is social loafing—the exertion of less effort by a person working together with a group. Social loafing occurs when our individual performance cannot be evaluated separately from the group. Thus, group performance declines on easy tasks (Karau & Williams, 1993). Essentially individual group members loaf and let other group members pick up the slack. Because each individual’s efforts cannot be evaluated,...

Social Facilitation01:04

Social Facilitation

31.6K
Not all intergroup interactions lead to negative outcomes. Sometimes, being in a group situation can improve performance. Social facilitation occurs when an individual performs better when an audience is watching than when the individual performs the behavior alone. This typically occurs when people are performing a task for which they are skilled.

Composite Bodies00:55

Composite Bodies

1.0K
A composite body is a body made up of multiple parts, connected to form a larger, unified object. Each part has its own weight and center of gravity, which must be considered to determine the center of gravity of the composite body. In cases where the density or specific weight is constant, the center of gravity coincides with the centroid.
Composite bodies have widespread applications in mechanical engineering, from automobiles to aircraft to rockets. For example, an automobile wheel comprises...

Relationship Formation

39.4K
What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...

Stereotype Content Model02:16

Stereotype Content Model

13.9K
The Stereotype Content Model (SCM) was first proposed by Susan Fiske and her colleagues (Fiske, Cuddy, Glick & Xu, 2002; see also Fiske, 2012 and Fiske, 2017). The SCM specifies that when someone encounters a new group, they will stereotype them based on two metrics: warmth—or that group’s perceived intent, and how likely they are to provide help or inflict harm—and competence—or their ability to carry out that objective. Depending on the warmth-competence...

Area of Science:

  • Software Engineering
  • Human-Computer Interaction
  • Organizational Psychology

Background:

  • Software development productivity is crucial for organizations, yet traditionally focuses on technical factors.
  • Social and Human Factors (SHF) significantly impact productivity, but are often overlooked.
  • Gamification offers a strategy to positively influence SHF and enhance performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the relationship between gamification elements and SHF influencing software development team productivity.
  • To provide a foundation for designing effective gamification strategies tailored to specific SHF.
  • To extend the analysis of gamification's impact on software development performance.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a scoring template for expert data collection.
  • Application of the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method for importance calculation.
  • Analysis based on three criteria: cumulative score, matches in inclusion, and values.

Main Results:

  • Quantified the importance of relationships between specific gamification elements and SHF.
  • Established a reference value for designing gamification interventions.
  • Demonstrated the link between gamification, SHF, and software development productivity.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding the relationship between gamification and SHF is essential for improving software development productivity.
  • The findings facilitate the design and implementation of targeted gamification strategies.
  • This research contributes to a more holistic approach to software development performance analysis.
