https://doi.org/10.37467/revvisual.v9.3623Keywords:
Organizational communication, Gamification, Work motivation, TrainingAbstract
This study analyses the use of gamification as a strategy in the organisational communication process. A systematised literature review of 50 articles on the use of gamified strategies and organisational management was carried out, analysing strategic, communication tactical communication, and operational communication. The results show the contributions in the training and knowledge transfer processes, as well as in the interaction with external customers allowing co-creation processes. In conclusion, gamification is identified as a practice that facilitates both tactical and strategic communication at the organisational level.
