Abstract: This conference explores the motivations and implications of introducing play into the workplace, based on an analytical model structured around two dimensions: the actors involved (supervisor or subordinate) and the legality of the game's introduction (licit or illicit). This framework allows for the examination of four distinct combinations, ranging from productivity improvement to the regulation of professional tensions. The article challenges the idea of play as a mere supportive tool, instead positioning it as a diagnostic lever for professional relationships. By crossing two axes – productivity improvement/regulation and governance/resilience – the study introduces the G.A.M.E.R. model, which facilitates the analysis of the respective positions of the supervisor and the subordinate. This model enables the interpretation of relational dynamics and helps develop tailored strategies to resolve tensions or optimize collaboration.
