스택오버플로 배지 시스템의 게임화 효과에 관한 연구 = The Effect of Badges Gamification on Participation Behavior in StackOverflow

국문 초록 (Abstract)

온라인 커뮤니티를 비롯한 다양한 온라인 플랫폼이 발전하면서 플랫폼의 성과는 사용자 참여에 따라 크게 좌우될 수 있다. 이에 플랫폼 운영자들은 사용자 참여를 유도하는 여러 전략을 활용하고 있는 가운데 게임화(gamification)가 주목 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 게임화 전략인 배지시스템이 실제 사용자 참여 증가에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 또한 플랫폼 맥락에서 맞춤형 게임화 전략 적용의 가능성을 확인하기 위해, 온라인 사용자 정보공개 수준에 따른 맞춤화 전략의 효과를 살펴보았다. 이를 위해 개발자 Q&A 커뮤니티 사이트인 스택오버플로에서 파이썬 배지를 획득한 사용자 557명의 답변 1,048,020개를 직접 수집하여 분석에 활용하였다. 연구 결과 배지를 제공하는 것이 사용자 참여 양을 증가 시키는데 효과적으로 작용한 데 반해, 참여 질에는 부분적인 증가 효과가 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 사용자 정보 공개 수준이 배지 획득 이후 참여의 감소에 미치는 영향을 조절하지는 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이 연구 결과는 목표 행동에 따른 게임화의 효과 차이와 맞춤형 게임화에 대한 관심을 환기했다는 점에서 실무적인 시사점이 있다.
