Abstract

Recently, there has been a lot of interest in the game industry, which has become more spotlighted due to the beginning of the metaverse, and the industry is gradually expanding and developing. However, workforces leading the game industry are increasingly complaining of fatigue due to the COVID-19 situation. Also, as the situation crosses online and offline at the same time, a 52-hour workweek is becoming increasingly important. Therefore, this study sought to conduct research on the acceptance of a 52-hour workweek system according to the characteristics of the game industry. This study proposed various research questions and presented academic and practical implications by verifying them.
