Gamification has been applied in the workplace as an innovative way to motivate employees and break people's traditional concept of playing games. However, different scholars have different views on the emergence of this form of work. To verify the effectiveness of gamification in the workplace, based on the S-O-R theory, the study explores the mechanism of gamification on job performance from the perspective of employees and empirically analyzes the collected questionnaire data. The results showed that work gamification positively affects employees' productive behavior and outcomes. Job satisfaction moderates the impact of work gamification on employee performance. Employee traditionality negatively regulates the relationship between work gamification and job satisfaction. Finally, the outcomes of the study are synthesized in this paper to provide management-relevant advice and measures for the application of work gamification in organizations.
