“…The age range of 18 to 30 years dominated the sample, comprising 80.9%, with no minors participating. This age distribution aligns with findings from the Pew Research Center (2018) and the Nielsen Company (2017), which highlighted a predominant young adult demographic in gaming, especially among the Z Generation and Millennials (Dimock, 2019;Lim and Parker, 2020). A significant majority of the respondents were unmarried (91.1%) and well-educated, with over 78.0% holding a bachelor's degree.…”

IntroductionMultiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games have garnered widespread popularity as a form of recreational activity. The launch of League of Legends (LoL), a prominent MOBA game, has captivated the enthusiastic pursuit of gamers in the MOBA community. The surge in MOBA game fervor, coupled with the influence of personal emotions, can result in excessive engagement, ultimately leading to addiction.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the moderating effects of visceral perception, behavior, and reflection on game players’ addiction within the framework of Leisure Theory (LT), Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT), and Emotional Design Theory (EDT).MethodsA hypothesized theoretical model was developed and empirically evaluated based on 236 self-reported validated responses from MOBA gamers. SPSS (version 26) was employed for demographic analysis and game duration analysis. The measurement model and structural model analyses were conducted in two stages using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) with SmartPLS 4.1.0 to validate the nine theoretical hypotheses.ResultsIt has been observed that personal emotions significantly contributes to MOBA game addiction during gamers’ leisure time or moments of gratification. Specifically, a noteworthy connection exists between two dimensions, namely gamers’ behavior and reflection, demonstrating a positive correlation with gaming addiction. Without taking entertainment as a motivating factor, there is no significant relationship between gamers’ leisure-time and visceral perception.ConclusionThis study enhances the theoretical model of gamers’ behavioral motives in engaging with MOBA gaming and contributes to the expansion of research on game addiction theory. These findings offer valuable theoretical insights for emotional design in games and the design of mechanisms for preventing game addiction.

“…We targeted the respondents whose age must fall between the generation Z (i.e. 7–23, but we targeted those above the age of 16 onwards) and Millennial (24–39) (Dimock, 2019) due to their high involvement in digital gaming culture (Lim and Parker, 2020). To find out the minimum required sample size for PLS-SEM analyses, we utilized the power analysis tool (i.e.…”

PurposePlaying video gaming is one of the most popular forms of leisure activities. This study looks into a specific video game genre, under the category of Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) games. The purpose of this research is to investigate the factors that lead to the consumption of MOBA games. Three factors, imaginal, emotional and sensory experiences, are investigated through an integration of the hedonic consumption model, Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Uses and Gratification Theory (UGT).Design/methodology/approachThe study analyses a sample of 292 MOBA game players using the PLS-SEM model. The study comprises two stages; in the first stage, an estimation model was used to test the constructs' quality and legitimacy. In the second stage, we assessed the theoretical model to test the relationship between the principle constructs.FindingsThe study found that factors related to emotional experiences, namely enjoyment, emotional involvement, and arousal, led to greater intention to play MOBA games. Similarly, two factors related to imaginal experiences, escapism and role projection, also positively impacted while fantasy carried a negative impact. The study also found that sensory experiences had a significant positive impact on the intention to play MOBA games. Lastly, a positive correlation was also found between the intention to use and usage behavior in MOBA games.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the theoretical understanding of the playful-consumption experiences of pleasure-oriented information systems (I.S.) that is MOBA games that derive behavioral intention to play MOBA games, which in turn determines the usage behavior of MOBA players. The study also incorporates the uses and gratification theory to uncover the needs and experiences that trigger MOBA games' behavioral intention and its further impact on gamers' usage behavior. The study also presents useful insights for game developers and other relevant stakeholders in game development.

“…Existing research has mainly focused on employee turnover intentions (Khapova et al, 2007;Lim & Parker, 2020;McGinley & Martinez, 2018). Turnover intention can be defined as the intention or idea of leaving one's current company (Meyer & Allen, 1991), which refers to a psychological state that may manifest in future turnover behaviors (Meyer & Allen, 1991).…”

Compared to other sectors, the restaurant industry has a high reliance on human resources through active interactions with customers. Therefore, it is important to identify job satisfaction among employees and satisfy their needs at work in order to provide high customer service. Until now, surveys have been the traditional method for measuring employees’ job satisfaction. Recently, numerous studies have analyzed employee job satisfaction based on extensive data collected directly from job portal websites. Therefore, it is necessary to verify whether the results of job satisfaction among employees derived from such methods have similar implications. This study compared the results of job satisfaction analysis using (1) 11,446 big data provided by former & current employees of the restaurant industry from a job portal website based on the two-factor theory and (2) A survey was conducted among 400 former & current employees. We found that only in big data, advancement opportunities & possibilities, and the compensation system significantly and positively (+) affected job satisfaction. In addition, current employees are more satisfied with advancement opportunities & possibilities than former employees only in big data. Thus, the big data and survey data analysis results differ. This can be attributed to the functionality and benefits of job portals. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the portal site’s functions, beneficial features, and online environment characteristics before using big data in the field of human resources.
