“…Matsumoto (2016) added the importance of self-determination theory in this sense, which also affects intrinsic motivation. The needs of exposition (narratives and meanings), information (knowing and understanding) and reflection (feedback, self-reflection and self-fulfilment) are also suggested for Gen Y users of gamification (Bhattacharyya, Jena & Pradhan, 2018).…”

Gamification in reality so far has focused mainly on implementing a reward system through gaming elements such as score, badges, and leader boards. However, there are a lot more elements in game design than just a simple reward system, which need a model to compile them for design purposes. Therefore, this literature review aims at finding out what gamification elements could potentially influence employee motivation, and on what aspect, based on empirical studies on the relations between gamification and motivation. Important motivation theories are analysed to show on what aspect gamification can influence motivation, and a review of gamification models reveals gamification elements that are considered related to increasing motivation. The results indicate that there are many elements that could influence motivation in different ways, which includes Mechanics, Dynamics and Aesthetics. Research purpose: To understand how gamification designs can influence motivation for employees at work, and what implications it brings about. Research motivation:Gamification is an increasingly popular studied topic, yet a definite model for its impact on motivation is still under-researched. Hence, more insights of gamification definition as well as its impact on human motivation at work are needed to be unveiled. Research design, approach and method:Most studies on Google Scholar were conducted based on the keywords of gamification definitions, gamification elements, and motivation theories. Different papers were carefully selected based on their relevance and importance. Related concepts are compiled and analysed to identify important related concepts. Main findings:Gamified elements that could potentially influenced employee motivation the most can be grouped as Mechanics, Dynamics and Aesthetics. These gamified elements could increase employee motivation through the sense of self-determination, personal development, and competence. Practical/managerial implications:Businesses could use the model to better understand the approach of gamification design. Further research is also possible on the topic.

“…Moreover, like to work as globally distributed manner with a greater diversity of people with good mobility options were like to share the co-working space or to be a digital nomad person and work as a freelancer with service agreements (Meister & Willyerd, 2010). Primarily they wanted to have good realtime reviews on their work and commitments through the gamification technologies or the communication via skype on face-to-face nature (Bhattacharyya, Jena, & Pradhan, 2018).This shows how to deviate the requirements that they wanted to have as an employee in the new world. Therefore, this would be the biggest problem that has to face as a future leader to retain employees who never know how hard the life without the technology.…”

The global expectation is that millennials and generation Z will take the stake of 75% of the workplace population by 2025. In addition, concurrently, Sri Lanka put its prospect on the ICT industry to be one of the major employers for the country. Presently, the industry has created 95,000 breadwinners. Still, the industry was hit with very high employee turnover ratio as per the department of statistics Sri Lanka. So, it is conspicuous that the industry is in a dilemma to retain its employees. Moreover, there are very little researches have been done on the gen-z work behaviours in the ICT sector of Sri Lanka where would be one of the biggest employers for gen-z digital natives who born after 1997 in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the objective of this paper to construct conceptual framework that address on the research problem that to find out the expectations of the gen-z in Sri Lankan context to improve the motivation of Gen-Zs' in-order to reduce the employee turnover in ICT industry through the literature review which has been predominately used journal articles from-1991-to-2019 in emerald platform. Literature has found that crucial 5 holistically independent constructs that significantly positive correlation to reduce employee turnover in the ICT sector. Therefore, it has emphasized that there is a research gap to fill-up through the future research that based on this conceptual framework with enhancing the reliability by incorporating with the real-world simulation through pragmatic worldview research approach with a research design using the explanatory sequential method as a recommendation for future work.
