Abstract
Based on the work in our previous paper, this one describes a novel configuration tool for a work task simulation, including a gaming and learning analytics environment. A central content focus of the study module "Work and Organizational Psychology" in psychology is job design, which deals with the effect of work on the working person. The critical teaching of theoretical basics of psychological work design, which is mainly done by reading and discussing relevant theories and research results, is unfortunately mostly lacking in the experience of practical job design training during these studies. This can only be achieved by experiencing a simulated training situation, trying out job design skills, and experiencing the effects of different forms of job design. To achieve this, nine psychologically relevant work design characteristics from work content, workflow/organization, and social relations can be manipulated in the simulated work training tasks and their training context. These characteristics must be able to be configured and saved by the teacher before the simulation is played. Subsequently, the configuration must be automatically available to the students when the simulation is started. For the characteristics to be measured in the game, settings must be configured for gaming and learning analytics based on this. Finally, the paper presents the proposed configuration tool's conceptual considerations and overall concept. Furthermore, the proof-concept implementation of the tool mentioned above and the evaluation are presented. Finally, the paper concludes with a summary and the remaining challenges of the approach.
