Moreover, successful implementations of gamification are reviewed to determine whether or not they are useful in achieving these goals of providing better, more frequent performance feedback and training opportunities to employees.The specific research questions are stated clearly as follows: Can gamification prevent or remedy problems associated with the Dunning-Kruger Effect and the Imposter Syndrome? If yes, which elements of gamification are helpful in achieving this goal? What inherent risks exist in doing so?
