The rapid expansion of remote and hybrid work has urged organizations to adopt new approaches to
managing employee performance and motivation. This study aims to examine the role of gamification in
remote performance management and its relevance to Generation Alpha as the future workforce. A
narrative literature review was conducted by analyzing academic publications and gray literature
published between 2020 and 2025. The findings reveal that the implementation of gamification elements
such as points, digital rewards, and instant feedback can enhance intrinsic motivation, collaboration, and
employee engagement. Its effectiveness largely depends on human-centered design, technological
readiness, and adaptive leadership. For Generation Alpha, who have grown up in an interactive and
technology-driven environment, gamification represents a highly relevant approach to building meaningful
and engaging work experiences. The novelty of this study lies in integrating the concepts of gamification,
remote performance management, and Generation Alpha readiness into a comprehensive framework for
developing human-centered and sustainable digital work systems.
