Serious Games for Vocational Training: From Emotional Labor to Knowledge Transfer

Abstract

based on research on a serious game used for training purposes, this chapter aims to analyze knowledge transfer related to emotional labor between gaming and work situations. After defining emotional labor, we will discuss issues related to the use of a serious game as mediation; whether or not it is accepted; and whether it contributes to the possibility of better regulating emotions. The results suggest that knowledge transfer, in and about work situations, is more related to the acceptance of mediation including its debriefing than to the playful attitude itself.
