Abstract

The importance of gamification is garnering increased attention in the corporate world. Gamification refers to using game mechanics and thinking patterns in non-game domains to promote user engagement. By reviewing the definition of gamification and related literary research, we aim to understand how to put theory into practice and determine the organization of gamification's main features. Next, in order to understand the current implementation methods of mobile payment gamification marketing. We analyze popular mobile payment apps as case studies. To examine the effectiveness of game mechanics on mobile payment marketing to determine whether there is a positive impact on brand loyalty and stickiness. The results are used to identify shortcomings in gamified mobile payment systems. Finally, we propose a gamification framework model for mobile payments and offer recommendations for underutilized game mechanics based on previous cases. Future research can reference our model for deeper studies on the effectiveness and impact of gamified mobile payments.

게임화의 중요성은 기업들의 관심을 끌고 있다. 게임화는 비게임 영역에서 게임 역학과 사고를 사용하여 사용자 참여를 유도하는 것을 말한다. 문헌을 통해 게임화의 정의와 관련 연구를 검토함으로써 이론을 어떻게 실천하는지 그 주요 특징들을 정리하는 것이 목적이다. 다음으로, 모바일 페이먼트 게임화 마케팅의 현재 구현 방식을 이해하기 위해 인기 모바일 페이먼트 앱을 사례 연구로 선택하여 이에 대한 게임 메커니즘의 효과를 조사하여 브랜드 충성도와 고착성에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는지 여부를 분석한다. 그 결과는 게임화된 모바일 결제 시스템의 단점을 파악하는 데 사용된다. 마지막으로 모바일 결제를 위한 게임화 프레임워크 모델과 이전 사례에서 활용도가 낮은 게임 메카니즘을 위한 디자인을 제안한다. 향후 연구는 게임화된 모바일 페이먼트의 효과와 영향에 대한 심층 연구로 우리의 새로운 모델에 참고할 수 있다.
