“…Worker happiness and well-being together with a fun work environment bring both personal and organizational benefits, i.e., employees may have better health, work learning, and career satisfaction while the company may have a better social environment, engagement, involvement, performance, and less turnover. (Atan et al, 2021 ; Bataineh, 2019 ; Gu et al, 2020 ; Joo & Lee, 2017 ; Michel et al, 2019 ; Tetteh et al, 2021 ; Tews & Noe, 2019 ; Tews et al, 2012 ; Tsaur et al, 2019 ). Thus, it is possible to better perceive the context in which games are being increasingly used within the corporate environment, since, according to our analyses, games mediate the relationship between the subjective side of the worker; and the contextual side of the organization involving performance and results.…”

Entertainment games have traditionally been articulated as leisure. However, they have also been used in the work context, in the form of serious games or gamification. In this qualitative research, we aimed to investigate the purpose of games used in the work context. To accomplish this, we conducted six semi-structured interviews and analyzed the discourses of the heads of the companies that produce serious games or gamification projects for work environments. Based on these statements, we assessed the views of the work context, the workers, and the projects the companies produce. We found that games have acquired different purposes, such as employee control to increase organizational results or enhance workers’ happiness and wellbeing. Although these purposes seemed to stand out in all the analyzed speeches, several other different purposes emerged, according to the conditions of entry into the market and the type of projects produced.

“…Due to the growth of technology for the production of advanced fishing and aquaculture equipment, there is no economic obstacle to obtaining the necessary facilities and equipment for fisheries (Ashirov, 2002;Atan et al, 2021). However, the dramatic decline in stocks due to unprincipled exploitation in the past and the growing human demand for aquaculture as a useful source of protein and its lower price than other protein products has significantly reduced the share of the economy associated with this important sub-sector (Trubin et al, 2017;Tolstykh, 2019).…”
