Abstract:
While employees of the Industrial Revolution were
known to be manual workers and those of the
Information Age as knowledge workers, employees
in today’s Technological era are a new kind of
generation known as Digital Natives. This
generation has compelled a change in the
conventional ideologies of people management at
workplaces by posing a challenge to organizations
in general and HR managers in particular on how
to manage them as they bring with them unique
work skills and attitudes. Gamification can enhance
learners’ autonomous motivation and enable them
to feel enthusiastic during their tenure in the
organization. The objective of this paper is to
understand how gamification can bring about
employee engagement. This paper aims to examine
the initiatives by the companies by adopting
Gamification as a tool to engage employees. The
information is gained from literature review of key
reports on Gamification and employee engagement.
There are also major review of few organizations
across sectors practising Gamification initiatives as
a part to engage the employees of the organization.
This paper contributes to the understanding of
Gamification in various organizations and its
impact on employee engagement.
