Risk of Superficial Engagement - Critics argue that gamification in HR may foster superficial engagement, where employees participate primarily to attain rewards rather than internalizing desired behaviors or outcomes (Werbach & Hunter, 2012)
There is concern that gamification systems could inadvertently incentivize undesirable behaviors or create unintended consequences, such as employees focusing on gaming the system rather than meaningful work (Deterding, 2012)
While gamification initiatives may show short-term effectiveness, sustaining engagement over the long term poses challenges, potentially leading to a decline in participation and motivation once the novelty wears off (Hamari et al., 2014).
Lack of Long-Term Sustainability: While gamification initiatives may show short-term effectiveness, sustaining engagement over the long term poses challenges, potentially leading to a decline in participation and motivation once the novelty wears off (Hamari et al., 2014).
Gamification efforts may demotivate or exclude employees who do not enjoy or excel at gamified activities, leading to decreased morale and productivity (Huotari & Hamari, 2017).
Ethical considerations surrounding gamification in HR, including issues of privacy, fairness, and manipulation, need careful attention to ensure transparency, equity, and respect for employee rights and dignity (Nicholson, 2015).
Indeed, gamification in HR comes with both benefits and risks. It's crucial for organizations to carefully consider these potential drawbacks, such as superficial engagement and ethical concerns, while implementing gamification initiatives.
