IMPLEMENTATION OF THE GAMIFICATION CONCEPT IN COMPANIES FOR DEVELOPMENT OF

EMPLOYEE ABILITY

Abstract

The development of Information Technology currently supports changes in the learning system on e-
Learning systems. E-Learning is not only used in educational institutions but can be applied to
companies to develop the knowledge and skills of their employees. Conventional E-Learning in
companies provides online class features, online examinations, and reporting employee achievements
for leaders. Getting a significant influence, e-learning should not only present material, questions, and
scores after answering an exam but can be further developed from it. In this article, we will analyze the
parts in applying the gamification feature to improve the company's e-learning system. Gamification is
defined as the application of game design elements in the context of the relationship with the role of
work in the company with the intention of modifying behavior, motivating and attracting people, by
utilizing human motivation in the game. This application is expected to increase the motivation of
participants in participating in other trainings in line with increasing employee performance.

1. Introduction Learning participants must complete the tasks

E-Learning is a utilization of information
technology in the learning process. The purpose
of e-Learning is to increase the knowledge and
abilities of the participants. The development of
information technology currently supports
changes in the learning system of e-Learning
systems for companies to improve the quality of
company employees. These changes are based
on the concept of conventional e-learning which
is considered not maximally to achieve learning
success. This is certainly a concern for
companies to develop the knowledge and
capabilities of their employees. The employee
training process certainly requires an effective
and enjoyable way of learning for employees so
that later this will be an advantage for the
company in running and developing the
company's business.
Some parts of the e-Learning system are
classes, material giving, and assignments. The e-
given through various stages provided by e-
Learning. In delivering learning material to get a
significant influence, e-learning should not only
present material, questions, and scores after
answering an exam but can be further
developed from it so that the delivery is more
fun, easy to remember, and the knowledge
gained is applied in the company.
Gamification is defined as the application of
game design elements in the context of the
relationship with the role of work in the
company with the intention of modifying
behavior, motivating and attracting people, by
utilizing human motivation in the game.
Gamification has been incorporated with
commercial success into Web
applications, especially social ones, as a way to
create narrow relationships between the
application and the users, and to drive viral
behaviors on them to increase the application's
popularity [12]. Some different types of E-
Learning systems are CBTs (Computer
Based Training), CSCLs (Computer Supported
Collaborative Learning) and LMSs
(Learning Management Systems). The latter are
systems being used as administrative support
tools at educational institutions all over the
world [12]. This application is expected to
increase the motivation of participants in
participating in other trainings in line with
increasing employee performance.
2. Method
This article uses the literature study method in
obtaining data and discusses how the
application of gamification on e-Learning
companies from various articles collected
related to gamification.
3. Discussion
The company has a stake in helping employees
develop their organizational skills, skills and
knowledge. The company also has a role to
motivate employees to always develop their
abilities. This is so that companies and
individuals can achieve the Company's goals
with increasing performance. Companies have
the opportunity to develop the potential of
each employee, one of which is the company
can hold a training for its employees. Training
certainly becomes a very challenging thing but
has a good impact if it is successfully applied to
the company.
It is also a concern for the motivation and
interests of the trainees. The more motivated
participants are towards the training, the better
the results of the training completion. But
cognitive learning and the acquisition of new
abilities cannot be obtained without natural
motivation and interest from humans.
One way of training that can be given is e-
Learning. This training uses information
technology which can be done online. All
material will be provided according to the
position and work of the employees.
In line with the development of e-Learning,
gamification is a concept that can be applied in
e-Learning to improve the effectiveness of
delivering material in the learning process
within it. Gamification is a trend that has
recently received a lot of attention while this
concept has long been made before.
Gamification is the addition of game elements
and the game mechanism into something that is
not a game in this case but a training. The flow
experience in game-based learning, game flow
theory, is argued to be one of the most
important contributors for the learning and
engagement in the game [8].
gamification in talent acquisition as the
application of game elements (such
as leaderboards and badges) during stages of
the talent acquisition process to
engage prospective employees and provide a
delightful candidate experience [5]. In the
context of e-Learning the presentation with the
application of gamification uses using game
elements such as storytelling that presents
material using the story line. The presentation
of questions uses interactions other than
multiple choices, namely drag and drop, answer
sorting, and true false features from card stack
simulations. Presentation of material and
questions is wrapped in an attractive
appearance such as the appearance of a
dynamic and not rigid game. The achievements
of the participants are not only shown through
value figures, to make it more interesting, the
gamification concept uses a progress bar to
show the achievements and development of e-
Learning participants. The value obtained in
each test is displayed with a credit point and gift
giving in the form of certificate. Assessment
history will still be seen to help participants
evaluate evaluations that have been
completed.Based on the results of the research
conducted from various case study rooms.
Gamification can be used in the context of
training as a tool to increase involvement,
motivation and interest in training. It was found
that the chosen game mechanism made
educational content more attractive and the
educational process more binding on the
participants. Adoption of the gamification
method will continue to offer catalyst tools that
are faster and more effective than traditional
methods for involving wider participants. It was
also found that the learning interventions
carried out had a positive impact on
participants' learning. the results show that
although generally positive, the impact of
coordinated interventions on participant
participation varies depending on whether
participants are intrinsically or extrinsically
motivated. Changing people’s behavior through
games can also favor the perceived worth of a
company in the customers’ eyes, but also in
economic terms [7].
Apart from the participants' side, the training
coordinators get an idea of how gamification
can be used in talent acquisition and as a tool to
harmonize the identity of prospective
employees with organizational identity. The
application of the gamification method will
continue to offer catalysts that are faster and
more effective than traditional methods
4. Conclusion
Based on the results of discussion and literature
studies it was found that gamification can be
applied in a company. Gamification can arouse
motivation and interest of employees in
participating in training. This is a determinant of
the success of a training held. As for the
company, the employees are asset that affect
sustainability is the basis for targeting the
development of talents, abilities, and skills of its
employees.
