In a study investigating remote working habits, a researcher conducted an experiment involving software developers at two separate branches of a technology company: Firm Alpha and Firm Beta.
All developers were instructed to use a new task-management platform configured with Gamified Nudges (including interactive progress-bar graphics and virtual achievement badges) to encourage timely task completion. For the next three weeks, the software tracked the percentage of scheduled coding tasks that were successfully completed by their specified deadlines.
All developers were instructed to use the same task-management platform, but configured with Standard Alerts (plain-text notifications only). The frequency, timing, and interface of the platform were otherwise identical to those used at Firm Alpha. For the next three weeks, the software tracked the percentage of scheduled coding tasks that were successfully completed by their specified deadlines.
