Resumo

Aplicada ao mundo laboral, a gamificação do trabalho é posicionada como uma evolução dos sistemas de gestão de performance das organizações. A sua via informacional envolve os colaboradores ao dar-lhes acesso a informação de feedback. Assim, os sistemas de trabalho gamificados (STG) podem ser interpretados como mais um canal de comunicação interna. Com a pergunta de partida: “como são utilizados os sistemas de trabalho gamificados na comunicação interna em Portugal?” esta investigação visa compreender se e como os STG, devido às suas dimensões comunicacionais e informacionais, são utilizados como canais de comunicação interna em Portugal. Recorreu-se ao método qualitativo, realizando-se seis entrevistas semiestruturadas em profundidade a profissionais de STG e a profissionais que exercem, ou exerceram, funções de comunicação interna numa organização que recorre, ou recorreu, a um sistema de trabalho gamificado, seguindo-se uma análise interpretativa dos resultados. Concluiu-se que os profissionais de comunicação interna em Portugal são agentes fundamentais no processo de elaboração e desenvolvimento de STG, que os STG podem criar canais de comunicação interna ou transformar existentes, e que os elementos informacionais e comunicacionais dos STG potenciam o engagement dos colaboradores.
