Abstract

Effective employee onboarding will be crucial for organizations to consider in the upcoming years. One approach to create scalable and engaging employee onboarding is through utilizing gamification; the use of game elements in a non-game context. In the present case, a multi-sited ethnographical approach was conducted, following the development of a gamified mobile application for the onboarding purpose of new employees at a global manufacturing company. The results showed that the use of the application had been low and that there was a lack of gamefulness, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness. From the case, three main factors are discussed related to the use and perception of the application; conducting early user testing; considering onboarding practices; and designing for gamefulness.
