“…While their scope is broader, only four of the studies they include are related to logistics. Even though their results imply that logistics and supply chain strategies are using simulation games for educational purposes, Wanick and Bui (2019) found no evidence that gamification would integrate logistics and supply chain management aspects.…”

PurposeSeveral freight operations rely on human cognition and behavior. Tackling these aspects, gamification transforms activities to resemble game-like experiences. Since the freight transportation sector is rapidly adopting gamification, the purpose of this study is to provide an overview that synthesizes the state-of-the-art and plot future directions for research and the practice of gamifying this area.Design/methodology/approachA systematic review of the gamification of freight transportation was conducted. After screening 691 studies, 40 relevant studies were analyzed.FindingsMost studies found positive psychological and behavioral outcomes from gamification. Literature mainly focused on tackling the operational-level issues of road and maritime transportation modes by implementing simulation games.Research limitations/implicationsBesides elaborating how gamification can improve freight transportation, the authors describe directions still uncovered by the current corpus, such as research design and temporality and the variety of modes and tasks.Practical implicationsPractical implications emerged from the studies, primarily focusing on understanding users, tasks and contexts, targeting different audiences and transportation modalities, and balancing motivational affordances, while considering the demands of the freight transportation domain, including dynamic, spatially dispersed environments and cooperation between multiple stakeholders.Social implicationsThe transportation of goods dominates much of the global economy and ecology. Therefore, gamifying this domain has a huge societal impact potential, especially related to issues of sharing economy, safety, environmental sustainability and social media.Originality/valueBeyond providing an original overview of gamified freight transportation, this study maps current research gaps and describes practical recommendations.

“…Similar systematic reviews exist in this area, but with significant differences regarding their scope and contribution. Wanick and Bui (2019) analyze and provide future directions on gamification and management. While their scope is broader, only four of the studies they include are related to logistics.…”

“…Increasingly, people are looking forward to the virtual world as a means for active participation in the society, to socialize, shop, date, work, lean and even carry out various economic transactions online, both basic and complex. The exponential growth of high-speed internet, expanding presence of smartphones and penetration of technology has ensured that digital games are becoming an integral part of our daily lives and human socialization which transcends the area of pure entertainment (Kim and Lee, 2015;Wanick and Bui, 2019;Park and Bae, 2014). These rapid advances in technology have led to a shift towards an economy that values engagement and is changing the dynamics of the business world.…”

“…These rapid advances in technology have led to a shift towards an economy that values engagement and is changing the dynamics of the business world. With these developments in place, it is now possible to create meaningful and very engaging experiences through digital games and a rewarding mechanism (Wanick and Bui, 2019;Hiltbrand and Burke, 2011;Koivisto and Hamari, 2019), which is the major element of the gamification process. In the past few years, gamification has garnered significant interest from both academic researchers (Humari et al, 2014) and practitioners (Kim, 2008).…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the moderating role of gamification on the relationship of financial attitude (FA), financial self-efficacy (FSE) and financial planning activity (FPA) of individuals on the financial behavior of individuals and also provides a conceptual background on financial management behavior (FMB), FA, FSE and FPA of individuals. Design/methodology/approach A preliminary study with the help of a structured questionnaire was conducted by administering the questionnaire to individuals who are exposed to financial apps on their smart phones or personal computers for various money-saving and investment activities. Help of various financial planners and financial consultants led to successful circulation of the questionnaire to respondents. The research model was tested through structural equation modeling using AMOS-21 software. Firstly, a measurement model was evaluated that comprised five latent constructs, i.e. gamifying features (GF), FA, FSE, FPA and FMB. Subsequently, the structural model consisting of the hypothesized relationships was evaluated. Findings The role of GF in financial apps and applications in moderating the influence of FA, FSE and FPA on FMB has not been thoroughly studied in the past literature, and the results of this study show that GF significantly moderate the influence of FA and FPA on the FMB of individuals. However, according to the results GF in financial apps do not have a significant moderating role on the influence of FSE on FMB of individuals. Originality/value The studies in the past have not investigated the role of gamification in the area of personal finance of individual investors, specifically their financial behavior in both developed and developing countries. This study addresses this gap by examining the role of gamification in moderating the relationship that exists between FA, FSE, FPA and financial behavior.

This special issue marks important milestones for the Serious Gaming Society (SGS) and its journal the International Journal of Serious Games. First, this special issue is dedicated to the gamification of industrial systems in the context of the widespread adoption of serious games in many fields such as education, medicine, military and industry. The potential for training by increasing motivation for engaged interaction and the adaptation of behavior has been proven. In addition, new emerging needs for gamification are identified in industry where important benefits could be generated by reducing the product cost and time-to-market. Moreover, in the era of industry 4.0, which combines production methods with the state-of-the art information and communication technologies, serious games could have the potential to promote innovation and increase the resources and the production efficiency. However, despite the significant advances that have been made in game-based approaches to non-game contexts, its potential transition into industrial settings have not been realized. This is mainly due to challenging issues such as the lack of methodologies for modeling industrial scenarios in digital contents representing real industrial systems with high fidelity, operational processes must be fully digitalized to ease the integration of gamification concepts, the adaptation of work environment conditions so that the use of gaming on mobile devices can take place without the interruption of industrial activities.
