Abstract

A compensation plan that continuously motivates the employees of a startup company is very important because the employees are usually more worried about the stability and potential growth of their company than the employees of large enterprises. It is therefore important to educate personnel in the human resources department of a startup company to properly design a compensation plan. However, it is not easy to train personnel to do this. In order to properly design a compensation plan, the employees must be trained to correctly understand content theories and process theories, and should apply the theories considering the practical constraints of the enterprise. This study used a gamification program based on role playing to design a compensation plan for a startup company to give trainees a greater sense of reality and immersion. The gamification program suggested in this article was analyzed to be effective in motivating and giving fun to the trainees. This gamification program would be used effectively to train personnel in the human resources department of startup companies.
