Abstract
Are some individuals better suited to competitive environments than others? This study examined the joint and interactive impact of gamification, relative to goal setting, and trait competitiveness on task performance. Results showed independent but not interactive effects suggesting that gamification is equally suited for both competitive and non competitive individuals.
