“…Gamification is a mechanism or element of the game to make available affordance for game events in non-game environments (Brandstätter & Sommerer, 2016;Müller et al, 2016). It is difficult to claim when the idea of gamification surfaced.…”

Background: Research suggests that gamification can increase work engagement by providing employees with a sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness, and by creating a fun and engaging work environment. Gamification is designed to increase consumer and employee engagement and see that they holistically collaborate to achieve a shared vision. The concept of gamification is as old as learning itself, just that the use of the terminology “Gamification” is of a recent origin. Methods: This article focuses on the impact of gamification in various organizations and simultaneously sees its relationship with job engagement and productivity. A primary investigation was done to determine the nexus between the various variables and data collection from 400 respondents working in various fraternities of the economy from both public and private domains from countries in the Gulf region. The structural equation model and SPSS has been inferred to analyse the results. Results: The study results show that variable such as perceived adoption and usefulness in the gamified system is significantly associated with job engagement. Similarly, employee’s recognition and perceived motivation have a positive impact on productivity. The study identified job engagement mediating factor to enhance organisational productivity in a gamified system. Conclusion: The effectiveness of gamification in enhancing work engagement may depend on factors such as the design of the gamification system, the preferences and motivations of individual employees, and the organizational culture and goals. The findings have significant implications for insight into how employees in the service sector are aware of the gamified working environment and react to the system through work engagement and productivity.

“…Books can be selected and information is shown by shooting at them, a second fire round displays extended information, and a third shot could even fill out the respective lending form. The presented play environments, that foremost aim at a productive outcome rather than solely entertainment purpose can be referred to as games or play for productivity [1].…”

Building 3D scenes for games can be a difficult task, especially for beginners and other non-experts wanting to contribute their own ideas in an easy way. Tools for map or world creation are often complex to understand and use, don't support the creative process of building a scene, and decouple design from player experience. To overcome these problems, we present a First-Person Shooter (FPS) game for level creation using game mechanics for all tasks, making the process more easy and enjoyable while also providing direct experience of the work from a player's point of view. We evaluated our approach in a preliminary study where we compared our game to a simplified version of the Unity editor, representing generic world building tools, and found that users enjoy the our game, find it more usable, and feel more creative.

“…Games and play have been researched in many non-playing contexts like gamification [6], serious games [10], or games with a purpose [16] and prove to be beneficial in other contexts than pure entertainment. In relation to productive outcomes of play, it has been pointed out that play is not the opposite of work, and that we have to question the often stated unproductivity of game and play [11,3]. Existing implementations of playful productivity applications and the use of existing games for the generation of content in a productive manner prove factors of enjoyment, learnability, and creative expression [4,14].…”

In this paper, I present my ongoing dissertation project investigating playful interaction techniques for productive purposes. The objective to find out how users can effectively create digital content while actually playing. Building upon and extending the notions of gamification, serious games and games with a purpose, I focus on productive aspects of play where not a task is extended with playful interaction, instead I aim to create playful environments where play is the main activity, while at the same time, productivity can be achieved as a direct result of the game or play activity. A first user study revealed that the approach has a high hedonistic value, low learning curve and creative self-perception. At the same time, the work results are comparable to standard tools in a reproduction task.
