“…By itself, enjoyment is described through the desire to start and to come near things (Hofmans, Gelens & Theuns, 2015), and it tends to increase the belief-action repertory of a person (Kruk et al, 2018;Xanthopoulou et al, 2012). Empirical research in different fields of study has revealed that enjoyment is related to superior action (Lu, Liu, & Wei, 2017), and that action is pursued from job exertion (Riddle, Tay & Wu, 2019). This means that when individuals perceive a job as exciting and when he/she enjoys acting it (that is, when individuals are inherently interested), he/she works hard into the job (Vyvey et al, 2019).…”

Creativity is widely believed to be necessary to increase quality performance. Thus, in today’s more challenging and competitive environment, the contemporary organization frequently utilizes rewards practices to stimulate creative activities among employees. Existing research on reward practices shows evidence that creativity contingent rewards play a vital role in improving employee creative performance. This study presents a systematic review of extrinsic and intrinsic rewards that contribute to creativity and their effect on employee creativity. The findings show that regardless of the degree of importance of the rewards perceived by the employee, both the extrinsic and intrinsic rewards were positively correlated with the behaviour of creativity behavior. Interestingly, the results showed that creativity-contingent intrinsic rewards have relatively stronger effects on employee creativity when compared to creativity-contingent extrinsic rewards.

“…By typically presenting virtual worlds in which violent opposition is actually just, and not misrepresented in a more acceptable light, violent video games recruit players' moral minds to motivate their involved engagement. As Riddle et al (2018) note, players typically want to play as the good guy and fight the bad guy(s). In Halo 3 (Bungie 2007), for instance, they do so by fighting as an elite soldier against alien forces that aim to exterminate the entire human species.…”

A Conceptual Critique of the Use of Moral Disengagement Theory in Research on Violent Video Games

Moral disengagement refers to cognitive processes of misrepresenting immoral acts in order to justify them. Research on moral disengagement factors in violent video games assumes that the digital representation of violence in video games is meaningfully similar to the cognitive misrepresentation of immoral acts that defines moral disengagement. Thus, the story worlds of violent video games are thought to misrepresent violence as being justified in order that players may morally disengage from their violent actions. This article challenges the moral disengagement perspective on violent video games by demonstrating its empirical reliance on a conceptual misunderstanding: The story worlds of most video games are not representational; they do not deviously misrepresent an underlying reality against which players ought rightfully to judge their own in-game conduct. Rather, video games simply present a story world that is as real or unreal as the violence that occurs within it. Therefore, moral disengagement theory is not readily applicable to the story worlds of video games. The article proceeds to show how this misconception leads researchers to draw empirically false and topically fraught conclusions about how players perceive and respond to violence in video games. Thus, the article challenges the moral disengagement literature’s claim to meaningfully inform the pervasive debates surrounding violent video games.
