Przedsiębiorstwa tworzące i wydające gry video (komputerowe, mobilne, konsolowe, przeglądarkowe) przechodzą ewolucję od niewielkich zespołów pozbawionych struktur, do dużych organizacji, gdzie struktury są niezbędne. Wraz z tą transformacją rośnie znaczenie zarządzania kapitałem ludzkim dla skuteczności organizacji, co wymusza zmiany w realizacji funkcji personalnej. W artykule przestawiony jest wynik badań literaturowych, których celem było ustalenie obecnego stanu wiedzy na temat zarządzania kapitałem ludzkim w branży gier video, a także identyfikacja najważniejszych obszarów do dalszych badań. Model kapitału ludzkiego 4K posłużył za ramę teoretyczną do przeprowadzonej analizy. Badanie wykazało, że wszystkie elementy procesu zarządzania kapitałem ludzkim w przedsiębiorstwach z branży gier video są słabo rozwinięte, a niektóre w ogóle nieobecne.

This research paper aims to provide a picture of women’s participation in various positions in the field of digital games in Slovakia, such as creators of game content, women involved in eSports, the gaming industry, casual gamers as well as women working in the field of digital game education. Based on theoretical knowledge and qualitative in-depth interviews with seven women working in various positions in the gaming industry, the women’s positive and negative work experiences, and the problems and obstacles linked to their gender were identified. The research is specifically focused on the situation of women in the gaming industry in Slovakia. The results show that female gamers and streamers face negative behaviour from their fellow players and viewers which may result in an array of negative consequences. Findings also indicate that the low representation of women in some areas of the gaming industry is a consequence of prevailing gender roles in society. Furthermore, women’s participation in eSports and competitive gaming is limited due to toxic meritocracy, prevailing masculinity and sexism.
